2 dogs unharmed in Waikiki apartment fire

Firefighters rescued two dogs from a fire in a 15th-floor apartment near the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor this morning.

The fire was confined to a bedroom at the Ala Wai Terrace at 1684 Ala Moana Blvd., said Capt. Terry Seelig, fire department spokesman. Damage was estimated at $25,000.

No one was home when firefighters responded to the 8:47 a.m. alarm and the building’s resident manager opened the door to the apartment. The woman who lives in the apartment was not home, Seelig said. Two dogs escaped the fire uninjured.

Firefighters brought the fire in the one bedroom apartment under control by 8:59 a.m. Parts of Ala Moana boulevard fronting the high-rise building were closed for an hour.

Wailupe and Aina Haina firefighters also were investigating reports of smoke from a possible campfire deep in Niu Valley that was reported just 9 this morning.
