Two men were hurt and a piece of construction machinery destroyed today after an explosion at a salvage company in Campbell Industrial Park.
The blast happened shortly after 3 p.m. and started a fire that burned about 10,000 square feet of scrap material at Leeward Auto Wreckers, said Honolulu fire Capt. Terry Seelig.
Five engine and two ladder companies found smoke and flames rising from a pile of auto parts and other scrap material on the junkyard’s property at 91-209 Kuhela St.
Firefighters dumped more than 30,000 gallons of water on the flames in 20 minutes and also used compressed foam. They brought the two-alarm blaze under control within 45 minutes.
Paramedics took a 36-year-old man in serious condition to the burn unit at Straub Clinic and Hospital, authorities said. A second man was treated and released at the scene.
