Fire damage to an auto-repair and detail shop on Auiki Street totaled $450,000, according to Capt. Terry Seelig, of the Honolulu Fire Department.The fire is still under investigation, but investigators have determined that there was $250,000 damage to the contents of the building in Kalihi and $200,000 to the structure, Seelig said today.
"They had specialized equipment like diagnostic computer equipment, a race car and motorcycle," he said. "That made it a pretty high content-damage loss."
Fire broke out at the building about 1 a.m. yesterday. A man who lives above the shop was rescued from the roof.
