Cause of deadly Honolulu high-rise fire can't be determined
HONOLULU (AP) — The cause of a deadly high-rise apartment building fire that claimed four lives and resulted in more than $107 million in damage cannot be determined, Honolulu fire officials said Monday.
"The HFD fire investigators have completed an extensive and scientifically based investigation in full collaboration with other agencies and have classified the fire cause as undetermined," Fire Chief Manuel Neves said at a news conference.
"Fire investigators have determined the fire began in the living room of unit 2602. However, due to extensive damage, the exact location and manner in which the fire began could not be ascertained," he said.
Neves said investigators have been able to rule out some causes of the fire. There was no indication the fire was intentionally set, there's no evidence of ignitable liquids, and cooking wasn't to blame, he said.
