lahaina on the hawaiian island of maui.for tourism are growing now, becoming more optimistic. joining us now is travelzoo senior editor gabe salyer, who is in maui. gabe, thank you so much for joining us this morning. hello, andre. all right. so you've got the hawaiian shirt on. you're in kind of kind of holly beach just outside of lahaina. it's a peak of the summer. what are you seeing right now? because that area, that fire was devastating. and a lot of people saw the damage it did. but how is it looking now? >> so you said it. i'm a hero at kaanapali beach, just about three miles north of lahaina. but very popular destination for bay area travelers. i'm at the westin maui resort and spa, another very popular destination for families out of the bay area, they just finished a $160 million renovation. so this is part of a growing call to get travel dollars out here. and i was here in, in late last year, i think in december, andre, shortly after those fires and the difference between now and then is palpable. you you've got

while most of lahaina's inferno was contained within days the rough terrain here in kula made it harderand residents - to control it . >> all day long that is all i did. flareups, constantly. william: you were fighting the fire on your own property yourself? x yes, for weeks. right outside my back door. william: garrett moved here forty eight years ago, and now worries she can't afford to fix the fire damage on her roof and fence. she also believes the smoke she breathed in last year and remaining ash are harming her health. >> i cough every day and i am not a coffer -- cougher. it depends on the kind of day it is, i don't want to be breathing it in. william: garrett is not alone: thousands of people on maui now live in or near areas that were burned. in a recent study of residents impacted by the fires, almost half reported declines in their health. almost 40% of those examined had compromised lung function and people who'd been directly exposed to smoke, ash or debris reported worse symptoms. >> people are still struggling with respiratory conditions post-wildfires and then those who

reporter: the lahaina fire is now the deadliest fire in the us in more than a century. reporter: this will rank as one of the worst disasters in american history. it's as bad as paradise, california, the deadliest fire from a few years back. larry laczko: that morning, when i turned on pearson road, i hit gridlock. we were just inching along when i came upon tamra and her burning vw beetle on the side of the road. she just opened her door. i heard tamra say, "i need help putting out this fire." i told her, "you need to get into my truck." but she seemed like she wanted to stay with the car. i know she had some treasured belongings. but she had to get away from that. tamra fisher: i'm sorry, lucky. i'm crying. karen davis: nichole got out of her car because her car was on fire. she knocked on my window. and she tried to open the door, but couldn't. so she ran off. i was dazed from the smoke. and i didn't know where she went. everybody was in a panic, just trying to survive. larry laczko: i did witness people running to a cal fire fire engine. we couldn't believe that the

been stopped, but concerns do remain high across the island as the one year anniversary of the deadly lahaina fire is nearing the brink of our one year anniversary of our island's wildfires, i realized that as a community, we're experiencing many different emotions. >> any fire can be very concerning and distressing to many of us. i want to assure you that the county and the state are collectively working together to maximize our resources, and most importantly, to keep our communities safe. >> the crater road fire is 70% contained tonight. there are no reports of any injuries or any damage to homes or buildings here in california. >> a wildfire in siskiyou is continuing to grow. the shelley fire is burr shelley lake in the pacific crest trail. it's very remote area, but still prompting uation ordersarby communities. the fire is now at more than 10,000 acres after breaking out on july 3rd. fire crews say limited access and dry conditions are creating challenges. >> there's a lot that needs to be done and i can assure you that we are continuing to go direct on this fire as much as we can. we a

not because they were asked but because they saw that the lahaina needed help.or the survivors who lost everything in an instant, no amount of help is ever truly enough. 102 people died that day. 2200 structures, most of them homes, flattened. more than 12,000 residents were displaced overnight. s never going to be quick or easy. this was always going to be a year's long effort riddled with stubborn realities to confront and difficult challenges to overcome. and in spite of the grace and goodwill of the community, in spite of a robust federal response since the very beginning, there is still so much unmet need and unfinished work. and understandably, people are worried and anxious and exhausted. they're tired of having to uproot their families from one temporary housing unit to the next every few weeks or every few months. they're tired of wondering what the future holds. and if that future will be on maui at all. they worry about their friends and their neighbors grabbling with depression and post-traumatic stress from the lingering trauma of the fires. they wo

we will remember the neighborhoods, businesses, and of course the town of lahaina that we will always love. even as we look back, we look ahead. in a few months the last of the debris will be removed. already properties are being rebuilt. and a long-term recovery plan is being developed with extensive community input. as we prepare to leave for the august recess, our work is not done. disasters continue to strike and we must deliver supplemental funding to help communities like maui recover. this is how we best honor their grit and strength by giving them hope for the long road ahead. i never expected as a freshman member of congress that a historic disaster would occur and so drastically reshape my work here. yet as our maui ohana reflects on the past year and courageously faces the future, my commitment to them remains unwavering and i continue to be with them every step of the way. mahalo, colleagues, for your support. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition? >> unanimous consent to address the house for one minute.
