What do you think about the warning sirens not being sounded for the Maui fire?

I feel badly for the man who made the decision whether to sound the sirens or not. Fire travels up, and historically the sirens are used for Tsunami. During a Tsunami people would run towards the center of the island and to higher ground, which would be the opposite of what was needed during the fire.

What should have been done in your opinion, and what should be done in the future?

I think they need two different sirens maybe. One a constant siren, and one an off and on siren, if that is even possible. Either way, the sire should indicate listen to your radios to find out the situation, but no matter what there would probably be problems. They would need to educate the population, and there is not really time to think in either emergency.

Maybe it is better that sirens indicate to run away from shore and some other system for other emergency situations.
