LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Red Cross Michigan volunteers are among those headed to Hawaii as wildfires have burned through communities in Maui recovery efforts for survivors and victims continue.

More volunteers than the seven already going from Michigan might head to Hawaii as Red Cross mobilization continues there, the American Red Cross Michigan Region said Friday.
