Honolulu firefighters doused a house fire this afternoon at the Pearl City Peninsula housing.

Honolulu Fire Department spokesman Capt. Scot Seguirant said the residents, a man and a woman and two minor sons, were not home at the time of the fire.

Six units with 16 personnel responded to the 3:11 p.m. alarm at 2254 Waikahe Court, a two-story single-family residence.

The first unit arrived at 3:20 p.m., and spotted light smoke coming from a second-story rear window.

The blaze was under control by 3:37 p.m. and extinguished by 3:42 p.m.

The fire remains under investigation. A cause has yet to be determined and damage estimates were not yet available.
