Hawaii Freezes Commodity Prices in Maui After Devastating Fires

Hawaii's Office of Consumer Protection has instituted a price freeze for all commodities on the island of Maui, the scene of devastating fires that have killed at least 53 people and where at least 1,000 people remain missing.

The price freeze is scheduled to be in effect at least until the end of the month, the OCP said in a statement, 'unless terminated or superseded by separate emergency proclamation.'
