Vigliotti's tough questioning of Maui county officials following the deadly Lahaina fire launched a state investigation into the island's emergency response. Herman Andaya, the head of the Maui Emergency Response Agency, resigned less than 24 hours after telling Vigliotti he did not regret his decision to not sound emergency sirens. Vigliotti's reporting led to new emergency protocols and statewide reform of Hawaii's disaster response.[https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/maui-emergency-chief-resigns.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare]{{cite web|url=https://reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/wlbvlJ78Ez|title=CBS Reporter makes false statements to induce a viral interview|date=19 August 2023 |access-date=19 August 2023}}[https://www.staradvertiser.com/2023/09/01/editorial/our-view/editorial-maui-leaders-must-provide-answers/amp/]
