Arson caused $1M damage to Central Union preschool

Advertiser Staff

Findings by Honolulu Fire Department investigators released on Tuesday concurred with an earlier police assessment that the Oct. 22 fire at Central Union Church Preschool & Kindergarten was intentionally set.

The 4:10 a.m. fire heavily damaged the preschool building and destroyed several classrooms, a teacher's lounge, a storage room and an office. Damage was estimated at $1 million.

The case is being investigated by police as a first-degree arson.
