Hawaii Army National Guard Sgt. Taylor Harriman, a plumber assigned to the 230th Engineer Company and member of Joint Task Force 50 (JTF-50), shares his personal experience of losing his home to the devastating wildfires in Lahaina, Maui, Aug. 8, 2023.

Harriman's commitment to protect and serve never wavered. He took swift action to help others to safety and volunteered to serve in the JTF-50 to take care of his Soldiers, where he continues to help Maui and his community.

In support of Maui County authorities, JTF-50, composed of the Hawaii Army and Air National Guard, U.S. Army Active Duty and Reserve and U.S. Navy, is dedicated to the safety and recovery of affected Maui residents, coordinating with local first responders and adhering strictly to local, state, and federal guidelines and laws.
