 Bloomberg News is reporting that the defendants have agreed to pay more than $4 billion to resolve claims related to the wildfires that killed more than 100 people and destroyed more than 2,000 structures in and around Lahaina. Along with the county and state, the settlement would resolve claims against Hawaiian Electric, whose downed power lines have been blamed for the fires. The company said a downed power line started a fire on August 8th, but by mid-morning that fire was completely extinguished. It's still unclear whether the plaintiffs will agree to the settlement.
