and after the wildfires. this comes as the number of dead continues to climb. it is 67 tonight, but will likely go higher. firefighters are making progress in getting the fires under control, the one that ravaged lahaina is 85% contained. the kihei fire is at 80% and a third fire is at 50%. however, there is a new evacuation tonight for kaanapali because of a fire. we are continuing to get harrowing tales from people who survived and barely escaped. there were people jumping into the ocean, swimming to boats to try to escape the fire. there are people on the ground crying, unsure where to go or not able to breathe because of the smoke and we were minutes away from that potentially being us just that close. search and rescue teams are on their way to help, including some from california. abc news reporter melissa arden has a look at what is hawaii's

worst natural disaster. everything is gone. this is this is terrible. heartbreaking images show the aftermath from hawaii's largest and deadliest wildfire. while dozens have been killed, hundreds more people remain missing. there's no power or internet making communication difficult. abc's whit johnson made it to historic lahaina harbor, a place he's visited many times but says it is now unreachable and sizable. there aren't many, many buildings left standing. people tell us that it all happened so fast. the flaming embers started raining down from the sky, igniting buildings all around them, and many had just seconds to flee, some even jumping into the harbor, into the ocean to escape the flames. the coast guard saying they rescued 17 people from the water while the fire was raging tuesday night. an effort made more difficult by the conditions. so our crews did encounter those winds and some rough seas as a

result of that. and there was smoke. mark and michelle stiefel among those who lost their homes. and they tell me they received no official warning to evacuate until they saw the flames coming for them in lahaina. we were lucky that my wife happened to look out the window and see that the fire was coming. we were running for our lives. no sirens, no warning, no nothing. and we would have been inside with our windows shut and not paying attention. we'd be dead. that's the couple losing their home for the second time. five years ago, their maui home was destroyed by a wildfire fueled by winds from hurricane lane, hawaii. officials telling the associated press there are no emergency management records indicating maui's warning sirens were activated on tuesday when the fires began. hawaii's attorney general saying there will be a review of critical decision making and standing policies before or during and after the wildfires. help is so greatly needed for

all of the western maui communities that were devasted by these wildfires. fema is now providing federal assistance. melissa dunn, abc news, maui. now the fire wiped out much of front street in lahaina. as you know, devastating hundreds of businesses in that very popular tourist spot. one of those businesses is coconino, a shop with hawaiian made home decor, wall art and photo frames. kent huntsman, the founder and president of that business, spoke with abc seven news today and says he's already turned his attention to rebuilding as a leader. i've already been focused on new locations and i really want to get involved. and we just we need to look forward as hard as that is right now. and in our building, right, by the way, is right next to this building that you're showing right now. we're right on the right hand side of it. that's a a cement building. so it's still there. but we were wood and we're all gone. so, yeah, the impacts are so wide ranging and that's my whole goal. we make things on an island.

we have 150 employees. this was our number one retail door, 130,000 just last month was salaries across the whole company contributed just from this one story. and we're just one we're just one small piece of the pie. so you can imagine your point to your point that thousands of people. and so i think we really need to focus forward. the good news, the governor's been great. the government has been great. president biden approved funding so as fast as we can kind of get over this really tough emotion, we need to look forward to newlyweds from santa rosa stuck in maui during the wildfires are back home tonight. what was supposed to be their honeymoon quickly turned to an evacuation a day after they arrived on monday, the wildfires began. the smoke and flames could be seen from the couple's patio. they had no access to food, power or phone service before evacuating. we took our back road that basically every local told us

not to take. it probably took us around the hour driving, but it was a very, very scary road, really. our hearts go out to all the people of china, the families that lost their homes, the families of the people that lost their lives. the couple says their long wait at two different airports in hawaii was a small price to pay after maui, families have suffered unimaginable loss in tragedy. very good perspective from them. what happening tomorrow? the bay area aloha festival is still going on as planned despite devastating news in hawaii this year. there will be a different tone, of course, for an event full of vendors with ties to hawaii. their main sponsor, hawaiian airlines, will be there collecting donations of airline miles for wildfire victims. one vendor says this year is going to be more important than past years. all of the islands are beautiful and it couldn't happen. you know, it's just unbelievable when we see it.

but they need all the help they can get. and for this happening at this specific time with what's going on back home, it really brings us together to help each other. doors open at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the san mateo event center. it will go until 5 p.m. and a hawaiian native is working with volunteers at sf zion to raise awareness about the impact of the wildfires on the island. michael fujimoto is selling spam musubi, a hawaiian dish to raise funds for all the victims. he says hawaii is close to his heart and he wants to encourage others to help make a difference during this tragedy. and, you know, it's not just about the food, of course. it's about ultimately, it's about raising that awareness so that not just, you know, it feels like those in hawaii are going through those tragedies. but you know, we as a community, as a global community and even in the united states here in california, can show our support to he's selling each one for around $2 and will deliver them to your home to order.

starting next year, potentially adding as many as three new concerts at the parks polo fields. it really affects like traffic and like trying to get in and out across the city or like outside. so i'm i yeah, maybe not just outside is enough. others, though, say the extra concerts would bring in much needed money to the city. hundreds and hundreds of jobs for theatrical and stage workers. we've got, you know, restaurateurs in it's good for business in the sunset and in the richmond and it's not just the city that would benefit, say, some residents. paul brennan tells us he thinks the whole neighborhood would get a boost from the extra cash. that's why for him, the pros outweigh the cons. i think there may be even, you know, some more interest in the neighborhood in general. folks who come here for the show might think this is a place they want to buy or rent in as well. in san francisco, tim johns abc7 news. all right. and one note from from today, the soma tent had to close for safety reasons and so it could
