HFD received a 911 call at about 7 p.m. Sunday for a building fire near 1375 Dillingham Boulevard, which is the address for Rainbow Motors, along with several other businesses. Eleven units with about 44 personnel responded.
Upon arriving on scene at 7:02 p.m. the first unit found a two-story commercial building with heavy black smoke coming from a first-floor, moped shop.
A hazmat unit was dispatched due to the likely presence of batteries in the fire.

No occupants were in the structure at the time of the fire, according to HFD. No injuries were reported.
