Yesterday, a boat operated by the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE), held a trio from the FBI’s Underwater Search and Evidence Response Team (USERT) that began probing waters off-shore from Lāhainā. 

The team is using specialized equipment to pick up any belongings or identifiable items to assist in the continuing effort to identify people who remain unaccounted for.

Simultaneously, expert divers from the U.S. Navy were concluding their two-day long mission and late last week, snorkelers from the Maui Fire Department (MFD) finished searching along the coastline from Puamana Beach Park to Wahikuli Wayside Park. 

A team of DOCARE officers also supported the MFD operation, by providing the Kai ‘Akiki to carry personnel and equipment and to serve as a resting platform for searchers. 

The FBI search is expected to be the final mission in the multi-pronged effort to try and account for any remaining victims of the fire, to provide their families some closure.
