A fire destroyed a one-story addition to a Kalihi home and damaged a portion of the main structure last night.

No one was injured in the 8:43 p.m. blaze at 1132 Laniuma Drive, but seven people were forced to find temporary housing, said HFD Capt. Kenison Tejada. Three of the residents lived in the addition, he said.

The cause was under investigation, but Tejada said it appeared to have started in the addition. The first floor of the main house received smoke and water damage.
