A home on Hooper Villa Road in Honalo was destroyed by fire Wednesday morning.
A home on Hooper Villa Road in Honalo was destroyed by fire Wednesday morning.
The blaze ignited at about 11 a.m. No one was injured.
Efforts to fight the fire were stymied by a lack of water, and the only available source for a time was from a garden hose. The nearest fire hydrant was about 2,000 feet away on Highway 180, requiring a water relay.
The structure was a total loss, according to Hawaii Fire Department Capt. Chad Toyomura. The blaze is under investigation, but not considered suspicious, he said.
