Early last Friday morning, a fire started on the balcony of a residential building in Waikiki. The Honolulu Fire Department reported that the incident at 2464 Prince Edward Street was called in at 1:03 a.m., and crews arrived by 1:11 a.m. to find flames coming from a 6th-floor unit's balcony.
Firefighters worked overnight to access an apartment under renovation that contained flammable construction materials. According to the Honolulu Fire Department, 26 personnel from 7 units responded and used a water extinguisher to bring the fire under control by 1:19 a.m. It was fully extinguished by 1:23 a.m. Crews also checked nearby units to confirm the fire had not spread.
The Honolulu Fire Department is investigating the cause of a recent fire in a residential complex. A final report will be released to the public once the investigation is complete. The fire may have involved renovation materials, and the department’s response helped prevent further damage. The full cause and extent of the damage have not yet been confirmed.
