A house occupied by 10 people in Hauula early Sunday morning was destroyed in a fire that caused $390,000 in damages, Fire spokesman Capt. James Todd said.
The fire at 54-148 Kawaipuna Street took nearby 30 minutes to control after the initial alarm at 5:24 a.m.
Firefighters took more than an hour to extinguish the blaze.

A man in his 60s suffered a small burn on an arm but refused medical attention, Todd said.
