KAHULUI, Hawaii—At least 36 people have been killed as a result of the wildfires that have torn through Maui, prompting federal officials to declare a major disaster in the state.

The three wildfires, which started on the Hawaiian island earlier this week, were fanned by winds from Hurricane Dora spinning hundreds of miles away. The cause of the wildfires hasn’t been determined.

More than 271 structures have been damaged or destroyed in Lahaina, the historic former capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom on the west coast of Maui that has become a popular tourist destination. At least 1,000 acres of Maui’s Upcountry, an agricultural inland area that includes Haleakala National Park, have been charred.
