Original Note:
Sirens are not used for wildfires (now or in the past). Alternative notification via text msg/radio/EAS/WEA is used. Official policy, not an error by the op. chief. Quote: Had we sounded the sirens that night .. people would have gone mauka (mountainside), and into the fire. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lahaina-maui-fire-residents-destruction-loss-search-victims-hundreds-missing/
