The death toll in Hawaii wildfires in the US rose to 67, which marked it as the deadliest natural disaster in the state's history, reports BBC.
Hundreds more have been reported missing and the toll may still rise.
It comes as some Lahaina residents are being allowed to briefly return home on Friday to take stock of the damage to their fire-ravaged town.
They returned amid warnings they would be greeted by "destruction like they've not ever seen in their lives".
State officials reopened Lahaina to people with proof of residency on Friday for the first time since flames swept rapidly through early this week, razing much of the historic town.
People who were evacuated with only the clothes on their backs told the BBC they were concerned it may be hard to prove their residency.
A curfew will operate daily from 22:00 to 06:00 local time, and some of the hardest hit parts of the town remain restricted to search and rescue personnel.
West Maui, where Lahaina is located, is still without power and water. Search crews are still in the area looking for wildfire victims.
That includes in the water. The Coast Guard said it had pulled 17 people alive from the water near the town's harbour so far. All were reported to be in a stable condition.
But Gabe Lucy, who owns a tour operator on Maui, told the BBC that he was hearing of horrific scenes.
"People were jumping in the water and I think for a lot of them the fire wrapped around so quick that the only way to escape was go down to the water's edge," said Mr Lucy, whose captains were called in to help rescue people.
He added that they were "picking up four-year-olds and putting them surfboards and pulling them out" and that he had heard reports of "bodies on the rocks".
