Remember after the Lahaina fire, when Hawaiian Electric promised to improve vegetation management and strengthen utility poles to prevent future fires?

Whenever it gets too windy, they simply shut off the electricity for entire neighborhoods, so if a pole falls down it will not spark a fire.
Letter: HECO should reimburse all power shutoff claims
