Honolulu firefighters extinguished a two-alarm building fire in Manoa this afternoon.

The Honolulu Fire Department sent 11 units with 43 personnel to 3022 Kanu Street with the first unit arriving at 1:08 p.m., Capt. Scot Seguirant said.

HFD was able to get the fire under control about 15-20 minutes after arriving on the scene.

Firefighters got the call at 1:05 p.m., and when firefighters arrived three minutes later they discovered a single-story home engulfed in flames, Seguirant said.

Neighbors estimated the fire, which mostly affected the carport at the front of residence, to be about 20 feet high.

They also said that an elderly woman who was living there had passed away a few weeks ago, but that somebody was still living at the property because garbage bins from the house were still being taken to and from the street.

Capt. Corey Apo said the house was vacant when fire personnel arrived.

No injuries were reported.

The estimated cost of damage and cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
