Firefighters extinguished a fire early today that started inside a bathroom ventilation duct at Kahuku High School.
Just before 2:50 a.m., 19 firefighters responded to the fire at 56-490 Kamehameha Highway. When they arrived, they observed light smoke and flames emerging from the roof of the school’s administrative building, said Honolulu Fire Spokesman Capt. David Jenkins.
