On February 4, 2024, the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) received a 911 call at 9:22
p.m. for a building fire at 2043 10th Avenue in Kaimuki and responded with 6 units
staffed with 39 personnel. The first responding unit arrived on scene at 9:28 p.m. to find
light smoke emanating from the rear of a two-story residential building.

Fire fighters secured a water supply and initiated an aggressive fire attack with
handlines on a storage area filled with construction debris and a parked vehicle at the
rear of the house. Water was on the fire at 9:30 p.m and brought under control at 9:38
p.m. Even though the fire did not spread to the house, other fire fighters performed
searches for occupants confirmed that there was no one in the building
during the incident. Overhaul techniques were performed to look for hidden fire in void
spaces of the house to ensure the fire did not extend into the home. The fire was
extinguished at 9:52 p.m.

All HFD personnel were accounted for with no reports of injuries.

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 completed
