The Fire Chief of the island of Maui, which experience deadly wildfires in August 2023, recounts what actually happened
The 2023 Maui wildfires highlighted the immense challenges emergency responders face during large-scale natural disasters. As our community continues the long process of recovery, an important debate is unfolding in Washington, D.C. regarding the future of FirstNet.
Recently, I reviewed a lobbying piece circulated on Capitol Hill by T-Mobile that raised serious concerns. Not only did it appear to leverage the tragedy in Maui to undermine FirstNet—an essential public safety communications network—but it also presented a narrative that does not reflect the reality of our experience. I feel compelled to correct the record.
