On November 10, 2023, the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) received a 911 call at 3:31
a.m. for a boat fire at the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor at 1651 Ala Moana Boulevard in Waikiki
and responded with 7 units staffed with 27 personnel. The first unit arrived on scene at
3:39 a.m. to find a boat that was secured to the dock and fully involved with fire.

Fire fighters secured a water supply and initiated an aggressive fire attack with hand
lines. All searches for occupants resulted in confirming that there was no one in the
docked boat during the incident. The fire was brought under control at 3:58 a.m.
allowing for overhaul techniques to look for hidden fire in void spaces to confirm it did
not extend into adjacent areas of the boat. After the overhaul was completed, the fire
was reported to be extinguished. All HFD personnel were accounted for with no reports
of injuries.

The United States Coast Guard and the State of Hawaii Ala Wai Harbor Master were
informed of the incident to handle notification to the boat owner.

The HFD Fire Investigator was requested to determine the origin and cause of the fire as
well as provide damage estimates. An update will be sent out once the final
investigation report is complete.
