EXCERPT:
GREEN: “It’s a very good question. Two days in, which was on the 10th, I asked my attorney general and instructed her to do a comprehensive investigation. So she’s doing that right now. She’s brought an outside investigator in from the mainland that has fire expertise. She’s going to find out exactly how much. We do know that early fire was sparked, as HECO said. I don’t want to jump to conclusions just because I don’t think it’s fair for me to do that, but we will hold everyone accountable 100 percent, and we will be very transparent about it. We will release all the reports. I think that at the end of the day, we all have to acknowledge that this is a global problem, it was a very, very hot, dry, terrible storm. We are dealing with global warming here. We had six total fire emergencies from 1953 to 2003 and then we had six in the first two weeks of this month. So, it’s a disaster waiting to happen because it’s so hot, but we’ll get to the bottom of actual responsibility, and that will contribute to how we try to bring kind of financial closure to people for this tragedy.”
