A severe fire broke out in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii, and it caused the deaths of at least 93 people.

It is the deadliest natural disaster in the US since 1959. The fire destroyed buildings in various places. Authorities still don’t know the cause of the fire, and they are working hard to control the situation. Three wildfires started in the area at the same time, and the Lahaina fire was the worst of them. People are coming together to help those affected, and they ask authorities to rebuild the town.

Difficult words: deadly (causing people to die), affected (involved in an event), rebuild (to build again).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
