Hawaii is battling wildfires spurred by winds from Hurricane Dora – prompting evacuations on Maui and the Big Island.

Mayor Richard Bissen has confirmed six fatalities in Maui county and warned numbers could rise.

The US Coast Guard says it rescued 12 people, after reports of residents escaping a blaze by jumping into the sea near the town of Lahaina, on Maui.
