At least 36 people have died as fast-moving wildfires tear through the Hawaiian island of Maui, according to officials.
The deaths in the city of Lahaina, the island's main tourist destination, came as strong winds from a distant hurricane fanned the flames.
The fire is one of several ongoing blazes that have burnt entire neighborhood's to the ground. Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes and a state of emergency has been declared.
A huge search and rescue operation is underway, with some people still unaccounted for.
"We barely made it out in time," Kamuela Kawaakoa, who fled to an evacuation shelter on Tuesday with his partner and six-year-old son, told the Associated Press. "It was so hard to sit there and just watch my town burn to ashes and not be able to do anything," he said. "I was helpless."
Five evacuation shelters have been opened on Maui and officials earlier said they were "overrun" with people. Firefighters are still battling active fires, with helicopters dropping water on the blazes from above.
Dozens of people have been injured since the fires began burning on Tuesday and hospitals on the island are treating patients for burns and smoke inhalation.
