The Inn’s Grill and Bar, the oldest operating hotel in Hawaii and a local landmark, was among the thousands of businesses destroyed in the fires that engulfed Lahaina, killing at least 55 people, a tally that is expected to rise once the area is searched.
Wong, who later was able to reach the man and found him safe, said that most of her staff “have lost everything.”
Guests and staff were evacuated safely ahead of the fires, said Kelly Lennon, whose family has run the hotel since 1981 on a lease . She said that 30 of the 45 employees of the hotel and restaurant have been left homeless, but so far, it seems that all of them are safe.“I’m heartbroken, and I feel such sympathy for the people who have lost everything,” she said. “It’s just devastating to see the images on TV and what used to be Pioneer Inn is ashes on the ground.
