Maui Police Release Body Cam Footage Of Wildfire

HONOLULU (AP) — Maui police held a news conference to show 16 minutes of body camera footage taken the day a wildfire tore through Lahaina town in August. The video includes shots of officers rescuing 15 people from a coffee shop and taking a severely burned man to a hospital. Chief John Pelletier says his department faced a deadline to release 20 hours of body camera footage in response to an open records request and wanted to provide some context for what people would see before the video came out. The Associated Press has requested the video but has not yet received it. Maui County provided the AP with 911 call recordings earlier this month.
