WAUWATOSA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A Wauwatosa restaurant with deep Hawaiian ties is trying to help the islands as wildfires continue to devastate the area. The restaurant owners say housing will be a major crisis in the coming months, and they're preparing to donate a portion of their proceeds to the Red Cross to help. Guy Roeseler described the scenes coming out of Hawaii as horrifying: burned-out cars on historic streets and boats exploding in the harbors from the heat. In his Wauwatosa restaurant Wednesday evening, another Hawaii native shared how her islands are suffering.
