The death toll from last month's Maui wildfires has been revised to 97, down from 115, authorities said Friday. "I think for the first time, we now have a clearer picture of what exactly this is," Chief Pelletier said. Even with the revised death toll, the Maui wildfire still ranks as the fifth-deadliest in U.S. history, and the deadliest in over a century. This week, officials confirmed the death of 14-year-old Keyiro Fuentes, one of the youngest known victims to date.
