Firefighters respond to shed fire in Kōloa

Kaua‘i Fire Department firefighters earlier this week responded to a shed fire in Kōloa. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters were dispatched shortly after 6:40 p.m. Aug. 18 to a report of a structure fire at a property on Kōloa Road.

Personnel with the Kalāheo and Kōloa fire stations as well as the on-duty battalion chief responded.

A preliminary Kaua‘i Fire Department report says firefighters — upon their arrival about 5 minutes after receiving the call — discovered thick smoke coming from a shed. Bystanders had quickly extinguished the fire with fire extinguishers.

Firefighters remained on scene to make sure the blaze was fully extinguished, clearing the scene shortly after 7:15 p.m.

Cause of the fire remains under investigation.
