I think that would be the leader in the clubhouse. But, there's apparently a good bit of chatter about it possibly being linked to homeless encampments. So, either arson or human-caused, which wouldn't be surprising in the least.
With the winds and dry conditions any ignition was going to be a problem.

I bet there's going be a mandatory metal roof policy in the area to rebuild.

Homeless people and powerlines have been in Maui forever and maybe one or the other started a fire as has happened in the past. Wildfires aren’t a new thing there.
The drought and heat have been worse than usual this summer and that side of the island was basically kindling.

Did you see the videos/pictures of massive amounts of power lines down from the 60mph winds. I am sure the “chatter” is from well informed local sources. Downed power lines, very dry conditions, tons of wind but yeah it was probably homeless people.
