The chief of the Honolulu Fire Department filed a police report to try and find out who leaked a confidential HFD document related to the massive Marco Polo blaze, Hawaii News Now has learned. The document, a log of dispatch calls during the fire response, included confidential access codes to the Kapiolani Boulevard building.
It was leaked to a Honolulu media organization. Hawaii News Now did not receive or report on the leaked document.
Sources say Fire Chief Manuel Neves complained that release of the document violated Hawaii’s open records law, which includes criminal penalties for those who intentionally release confidential government documents.
