VIDEO: The Honolulu Fire Department is investigating a fatal fire that broke out in a Waikiki apartment on Sunday afternoon. HFD said they were called to the scene at Kaioo Drive just shortly before 3:05 p.m. When they arrived, they found the two-story structure engulfed in smoke and flames. They arrived with about 51 personnel and said they had the fire out in 30 minutes. HFD said that due to concerns of the structure’s integrity, a search for occupants was done only after the blaze was extinguished at around 3:40 p.m. Once firefighters could confirm entry into the building was safe, they found two occupants dead in their home. There were about 20 residents in the building.
