The death toll in the Maui wildfires rose Friday to 67, as some residents were allowed to return to West Maui after the disaster.

But a fire Friday in West Maui prompted the evacuation of residents of Kaanapali, which has a population of around 1,100, Maui County police said Friday evening.

Three wildfires have been burning on Maui. Containment of the Lahaina fire, which swept into the town of the same name and caused widespread damage, increased slightly to 85%, the County of Maui said.
