Firefighters extinguished a house fire in Makaha this morning. The cause of the fire is under investigation and a damage estimate has yet to be determined.

Honolulu firefighters battled an early-morning fire at a two-story residence in Makaha.

Thirteen units with 41 firefighters responded to the two-alarm fire at 84-139 Makau St. at approximately 3:55 a.m. When they arrived, they observed smoke and flames emanating from the garage, said Honolulu Fire Spokesman Capt. Scot Seguirant in a news release.

Two men safely exited the residence after they observed smoke. Seguirant said the structure had a working smoke alarm system.

Firefighters brought the fire under control at 4:20 a.m. and extinguished it at 5:05 a.m.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation and a damage estimate has yet to be determined.
