A structure fire Sunday night destroyed an unpermitted single-family dwelling in Hawaiian Paradise Park.
Nine units responded to the 9:13 p.m. alarm at the vacant 6,000-square-foot post-and-pier structure on 18th Avenue near the dead end off Kaloli Drive, according to a Hawaii Fire Department statement.
The first unit arrived on scene at 9:24 p.m. to find the building “100% involved in fire.”
“Due to structural collapse imminent, defensive strategy was assumed (and) no nearby structures were threatened,” the statement said.
The fire was reported under control at 9:55 p.m. and extinguished at 10:30 p.m.
No estimate of damage was given and the cause of the fire was listed as “undetermined.”
