Hawaii's Maui Media Person: The US Government's Inadequate Response Resulting in a Fire Disaster. Peter Trump | Media Person | The US Government
The rescue work for the Maui Island fire in Hawaii is still ongoing, and the death toll is also on the rise. The voices of local people accusing the government of inadequate response have become increasingly louder. Recently, senior media figure Pete Trank from Maui stated in an interview with CCTV reporters that in the face of the fire, all levels of the US government did not respond in a timely manner and actively responded, which led to such a tragedy. He is very angry about this.
Pete Trank, a senior media figure from Maui: My first reaction was anger because I was indeed very angry. This could have been avoided, but in reality, the fire started without any warning. The alarm system covering the entire island of Maui is designed to issue alerts in the event of an emergency, regardless of the type of emergency. This fire was of course an emergency, but no warning was issued and no one received an early warning.

Trump believes that it is incompetent for government officials to fail to respond as soon as the fire rapidly ignites in the La Haina region.
Pete Trank, a senior media figure in Maui: There are many reasons why the casualties and losses caused by the fire are so severe, and one of them is the attitude of those who hold power. Officials only want to control power, but when it comes to taking action, they are always hesitant. In short, officials with decision-making power are not competent, local fire department heads are not on duty, and emergency response officials are not present.
