LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Public schools on Maui are starting the process of reopening and vehicle traffic is moving again in signs of recovery a week after wildfires demolished a historic town and killed at least 110 people. Meanwhile, additional cadaver dogs arrived Wednesday to help teams searching for remains of the dead on Hawaii’s second-largest island. Survivors have been contending with intermittent power and unreliable cell service as they seek help rebuilding their lives. A mobile morgue with coroners, pathologists and technicians has arrived to help with the grim task of sorting through remains. The governor has warned that a new storm could complicate the search and recovery.
