REFINERY FIRE EXTINGUISHED IN KALIHI

On November 11, 2026, the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) received a 911 call at 8:09 a.m. and responded to a refinery fire at 1350 Sand Island Parkway with 15 HFD units staffed with 54 personnel, and 4 Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) trucks from the Hawaii Department of Transportation, staffed with approximately 16 personnel. 

The first unit arrived on scene at 8:17 a.m. to find heavy equipment outside of the building burning and began a defensive fire attack, focusing on nearby propane tanks. The second-arriving unit staged in an advantageous position to quickly respond to instructions, while the third unit established a water supply.  Fire fighters had water on the fire at 8:25 a.m. while subsequent units ensured that all personnel were evacuated from the facility.

The fire was declared under control at 8:27 a.m. and fully extinguished at 8:36 a.m.

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