Hawaii island firefighters extinguished a fire in the Waipio Valley area that destroyed a single-story structure.

The fire burned the structure to the ground and about 10 feet of foliage around it.
There was a delayed response because of difficult terrain on the valley floor.
The fire was extinguished at 5:40 p.m. No injuries were reported, and the fire is being investigated.
