‘He Gave Everything To Save Nothing’: Firefighter’s Family Wants Change Pending lawsuit says supervisor sent young Maui firefighter into a raging flood without safety gear, leading him to be sucked into a drain.

The Big Island got hit from two directions. Kilauea was erupting, and the storm was moving in. Tephra fell in and around Volcano, with reports of up to 6 inches in Volcano Village and nearby areas. Highway 11 had to be closed for clearing equipment and debris. Visitors and residents who thought they were dealing with one problem were suddenly facing multiple problems. It was a Kona storm layered on the heels of an active eruption, road closures, and park-area disruption, which is the best way to understand what happened on the Big Island. Visitors usually think one risk at a time, but Hawaii stacked them up this week. Rain is one issue. Fierce wind is another. Closed highways are another. Volcanic fallout is another. Put them together, and a Big Island vacation in particular can turn into something very different from the version people thought they bought.
