Honolulu firefighters douse blaze at Pearl City strip mall

Honolulu firefighters extinguished a building fire Sunday at a commercial strip mall building in Pearl City.

The Honolulu Fire Department received a 911 call at 10:58 a.m. for a building fire near 539 Kamehameha Highway and responded with 10 units staffed with 35 personnel.

The first unit arrived at the scene at 11:02 a.m. to find smoke and flames coming from a single-story, strip mall that was partially boarded up, according to HFD.

Firefighters forcibly entered doors and began fighting the fire with hand lines. A search was conducted to confirm that the building was clear of any occupants and to confirm that the fire did not extend into the adjacent businesses, HFD said.

The fire was brought under control at 11:41 a.m. and extinguished at 12:17 p.m. There were no injuries.

This fire is under investigation to determine the origin and cause, and to provide damage estimates.
