“…There’s package materials so it creates an intense and really hot fire that spreads really really quickly,” explained Medrano.

The Honolulu Fire Department said the structure was a Quonset hut type of warehouse. Puna Noni had doors open for business but in order to get to the scene of the fire, crews made a forcible entry from the rear of the building.
