The man in charge of Maui’s Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday he does not regret not activating warning sirens as the fatal wildfire swept across the island.
Chief Herman Andaya said he opted to send out alerts via mobile devices, radio waves, television and the county’s opt-in resident alert system – but not via siren.
Andaya says that he made this decision because he was concerned that people might have gone the wrong direction.
Seriously?
If I hear a siren and I see a fire coming at me, I am not going to run toward the fire.
Do these people have any common sense at all?
