Police are allowing people with valid residence documents as well as those who were evacuated from hotels to pick up belongings.
Lahaina, a town of 12,000 on the island of Maui, was decimated by a wildfire late 8 August, prompting mass evacuations and power outages.
Nearly every building on its historic Front Street is gone. At least 55 people have been reported dead.
The fires were a result of dry conditions and strong winds fueled by Hurricane Dora. The blaze is the deadliest U.S. wildfire since Paradise, California, where 85 people were killed by The Camp Fire.
