No one was injured in the fire, which burned along Pu'u Road in the vicinity of the Kukuiolono Golf Course. The fire was deemed under control about 2:39 p.m. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

It was the first fire call for five new firefighters who were among those responding to the 11:35 alarm.
