The fire in western Maui destroyed or damaged more than 2,000 buildings. Most of those were homes. That's left many residents in Lahaina in need of shelter.
At a park and ride just south of Lahaina, pastor Estrella Arquero is loading up her van and getting ready to drive into the burn zone.
She and her husband lead Koinonia Pentecostal Church, where twenty members of their Filipino congregation are sleeping in the parish hall.
