Hawaii fire deadliest in US in over a century

Hawaii's governor has warned that the death toll from last week's wildfires could double or even triple over the next 10 days, as the grim task of searching for charred human remains slowly continued Monday. At least 96 people are confirmed to have died on the island of Maui, in what is already the deadliest US wildfire in a century. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said more fatalities are certain, as emergency responders with cadaver dogs work their way through homes and burned-out vehicles.

Montana -- brought by plaintiffs ranging in age from 5 to 22 -- could bolster similar litigation that has been filed across the country.
