Water + electricity don’t mix. ⚡️💧 We know. You know. Everyone knows 😅

But here’s the less obvious part, flooding and heavy rain can compromise electrical systems and appliances—even when everything looks fine.

If the power goes out, switch appliances off. When the power comes back, don’t assume everything is safe just because the lights are on.

Not sure whether something is safe after being exposed to water? Don’t guess. Don’t test it. Get it checked.

A little caution now can prevent a fire later.

Crews responded to a confined space rescue at 3553 Waialae Avenue, with the first unit arriving on-scene at 1:07 p.m. to find workers and occupants outside of a one-story restaurant.

Firefighters reported an approximately 40’ by 40’ section of the roof had collapsed. Rescue unit personnel conducted searches to ensure no one was trapped, while hazardous materials unit personnel conducted air monitoring to ensure the collapse did not cause any gas leaks.

Neighboring units were evacuated, as a precaution.

HFD’s Special Operation’s trailer was dispatched and rescue personnel utilized equipment to stabilize the remaining portion of the roof to mitigate any hazards and ensure the area was left in a safe condition.

The scene has been transferred to the Honolulu Police Department.

This weekend’s storm brought dangerous conditions to Hawaiʻi, including high winds, heavy rain and limited visibility, all of which Honolulu’s first responders worked through to keep our community safe.

When you choose to continue into hazardous conditions, you put yourself at risk—and that risk can extend to rescue personnel who may be called to help.

As we look back on this weekend’s response, we ask our community to make safety the priority when conditions turn dangerous.

Know what’s coming. Stay informed. Be prepared. And know when conditions become unsafe.

As conditions change, keep these five things in mind:

🌧️ RAIN: Slow down, allow extra time, and be alert for reduced visibility and ponding on roadways.
💨 WIND: Secure loose outdoor items before winds increase. Stay away from downed power lines and damaged trees or structures.
🌊 FLOODING: Never walk or drive through floodwater. Water can be deeper, faster-moving, and more dangerous than it appears. If you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around.
🏄 DANGEROUS SURF: When conditions are unsafe, stay out of the water.
🔥 FIRE WEATHER: Strong winds and dry conditions can increase the potential for fire spread. Avoid outdoor burning and activities that could create an ignition when conditions are dry and windy.

Stay informed, take first responder messages seriously, and heed warnings about hazardous conditions. If you stay safe, we all stay safe.

We’ll be ready. Make sure you are, too.

Happy 7th Birthday to Eve, one of HFD’s favorite teammates! 🐾🎉

“She’s such a joy to have—goofy, sweet, and friendly with everyone she meets. She’ll be turning seven soon, but she still acts like a puppy, and her eyes always show exactly how she’s feeling,” Fire Investigator Micah Ancheta said of his partner.

When she’s not helping investigators as our accelerant detection K9, she’s reminding us that the best coworkers come with four paws.

Help us wish her the happiest of birthdays! 💙💛🎂

July 31 marks Lā Hoʻihoʻi ʻEa, commemorating the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s sovereignty in 1843.

It was on this day, at Thomas Square, that King Kamehameha III proclaimed:

“Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono”

The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.

For many in Hawaiʻi, these words remain a powerful reminder of our history, our people, and our connection to this place we proudly serve.

If you’re one of the many new faces who recently found our page, welcome. We encourage you to learn about the history behind these words and why this day continues to be remembered nearly two centuries later.
