Maui Fire Chief Brad Ventura is expected to present the Department of Fire and Public Safety's After-Action Report, which was produced by the Western Fire Chiefs Association today.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted MFD in determining the cause of the fire.
The Attorney General contracted the Fire Safety Research Institute to investigate a timeline of events on Aug. 8, 2023, or Phase 1 of the report.
FSRI said the Phase One report, which is expected to be presented on April 17, will analyze how the fire incident unfolded, based on science, during the first 24 to 72 hours of the fire and its aftermath, and includes a comprehensive timeline of events. The analysis will be included in Phase Two.

Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi recognized the unseen heroes of law enforcement on Monday.
Alongside Mayor Blangiardi, representatives from public safety agencies gathered at the Joint Traffic Management Center to mark National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.
The week honors dispatchers who are first in line to provide vital assistance and guidance when responding to 911 calls.
“They are the unsung heroes who serve as the first point of contact during times of crisis, and work tirelessly to dispatch our firefighters quickly and efficiently,” explained HFD Battalion Chief Shawn Kuratani. “Their efforts extend far beyond the call, they are the backbone of the firefighting operations who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure seamless communication and coordination.”
