A Sunday morning fire caused an estimated $52,000 in damage to a house on 28th Avenue in Hawaiian Paradise Park.
According to a Hawaii Fire Department statement, seven units responded to the 6:02 a.m. alarm.
The first unit arrived five minutes later and had to force entry through a locked chain-link gate.
The large single-story structure under renovation had what was described as a “small working fire on the front side” and “multiple discarded items around house.”
The fire was reported under control at 6:13 a.m. and extinguished at 6:20 p.m.
The statement noted “multiple areas that fire had been set, but did not progress and self-extinguished prior to HFD arrival.”
No injuries were reported, and an estimated $277,000 in property value was saved.
