A previous version of this article incorrectly said that Hawaiian Electric did not respond until the afternoon to reports of downed power lines on the first day of the Maui fires. It responded after a blaze started and sent a worker to that scene about 7 a.m. The article also incorrectly said that the utility sued Maui County over the Lahaina fire. It was Maui County that sued the utility. The article and headline have been corrected.
