Fireworks burn wicker chair and wall of Maili home

New Year’s Eve fireworks burned the wall of a Maili home and set a nearby wicker chair on fire before bystanders used a garden hose to extinguish the flames.

Home security video shows that fireworks caused the fire at 8:34 p.m., and the Honolulu Fire Department reported that the bystanders extinguished the fire before firefighters arrived. The incident caused an estimated $5,000 in damages.

The occupants of the home were not there at the time of the fire. No injuries were reported.
