Candle causes house fire

Advertiser Staff

A fire that caused $5,000 damage to an 'Ewa Beach residence last night was caused by a candle, said fire department spokesman Capt. Kenison Tejada.

The fire in Unit B at 91-269 'Ewa Beach Road was reported at 9:26 p.m. and firefighters had it under control at 9:34 p.m. Investigators determined that a curtain caught fire after blowing over the candle, said Tejada. Damages were estimated at $2,000 to the structure and $3,000 to its contents. No one was injured, said Tejada.
