Hawaii County Fire/Rescue crews responded to a 3:22 a.m. alarm Wednesday (Feb 13) to Puna for a structure fire.
Crews arrived to find a 10’x10′ structure at 12-4321 Kona Street engulfed in flames with the roof collapsed. A 31-year-old woman got second degree burns to her hands getting out of the structure fire, was treated for her burns and transported to Hile Medical Center. Three others, a man, woman and toddler, were able to escape without injury.
The metal shed with wooden subfloor was a total loss with an approximate value of $20,000. Firefighters were able to put out the fire by 3:51 a.m.
The cause of the blaze was determined to be an unattended candle fire that spread to the contents inside the structure.
