A fire destroyed a Hilo home early this morning.
According to a fire department statement, seven units responded to the 2:10 a.m. alarm at an Amauulu Road home about 1 1/2 miles above Wainaku Street.
Arriving firefighters found the older single-family home on an unpaved dirt road off Amauulu engulfed in flames. The statement said the unpaved home made access difficult for firefighters.
No injuries were reported and damage was estimated at $100,000.
The Red Cross reported it is providing assistance to the home’s displaced residents.
