On Saturday, August 16, officials received reports that this historic giant was engulfed in flames. Firefighters rushed to the scene, deploying drones, aircraft, and hand crews in an attempt to extinguish the 325-foot-tall (99-meter-tall), 11.5-foot-wide (3.5-meter-wide) tree, the Los Angeles Times reports.

This process, called forensic investigative genetic genealogy, or FIGG, has since helped solve hundreds of murders and sexual assaults. Still, while the technology is potent, it’s incompletely realized.

Two Years After Maui Burned, Researchers Reveal the Wildfire’s True Death Toll

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-08 12:00:05

In August 2023, downed power lines on Maui, Hawaii, sparked a wildfire that quickly exploded into multiple, fast-moving blazes fanned by high winds.

New research published Thursday, August 22, in the journal Frontiers in Climate suggests this disaster also caused a population-wide increase in mortality beyond what the official death count captured.
