Oahu fire crews have been kept busy with multiple blazes, including two brush fires. The fires have caused heightened concern due to their proximity to homes and other structures. One of the fires burned near a major highway, leading to its closure for a short period. Firefighters have been working tirelessly to contain the fires and prevent them from spreading further. The cause of the fires is yet to be determined, but fire officials are urging residents to be cautious and follow safety protocols to prevent further incidents..
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Multiple blazes broke out across Oahu Thursday, including two brush fires, keeping fire crews busy from the early morning and even into the overnight hours.
Dozens of emergency responders rushed to the scene of a fire around 2 a.m. Friday at the South Shore Market building.
HFD officials said they were able to put out the fire in about 20 minutes.
So far, no word on the cause or extent of damage.
Another blaze happened just hours before in the Kalihi area around 8:30 p.m.
Firefighters responded to a single-story home on Makalapua Place, off Halona Street for the two-alarm fire.
No injuries were reported and the cause remains under investigation.
Around 12:30 p.m., a fuel truck caught on fire while on a Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam flight-line.
The truck had been refueling a Marine Corps plane at the time.
Officials said the fire was put out before it could spread to an aircraft and no one was hurt.
About 120 gallons in A-triple-F fire suppressant foam was used in the effort.
It’s believed it all was confined to the tarmac but the military is looking into potential impacts.
Early Thursday morning, both the Honolulu Fire Department and Federal Fire Department responded to two large brush fires in the North Shore and Waikele areas.
At last check, the Waikele brush fire has been fully contained, however the North Shore fire in Paalaa is only 50% contained. All roads have been reopened.
