On January 3, 2024, the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) received a 911 call at 3:55
a.m. for a building fire at 1960 Kapi’olani Boulevard in McCully and responded with
seven units staffed with 26 personnel. The first unit arrived on scene at 4:00 a.m. to find
smoke showing from a restaurant on the first floor of the two-story commercial building.

Fire fighters secured a water supply and initiated a fire attack with handlines to prevent
the kitchen fire from spreading, bringing it under control at 4:10 a.m. While the fire was
being extinguished, interior searches of all floors were conducted to ensure that all
occupants were out and the fire did not extend into adjacent areas of the building.
Ventilation fans were also used to clear the building of residual smoke. The fire was
extinguished at 4:49 a.m.

This fire is under investigation to determine the origin, cause, and damage estimates.
An update will be sent out once the final investigation report is complete.
