Maui firefighters responded to a fire at a restaurant in Wailuku on Wednesday afternoon, and the fire may have been started by accident.
The Maui Fire Department was alerted about a structure fire at 4:47 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28, located at the 1000 block of Lower Main St. in Wailuku. Firefighters arrived at the scene and found a small, one-story restaurant with smoke coming out of it.
Firefighters took hoses inside Randy’s Catering & Fast Food and searched the property to confirm no one was inside. They got the fire under control by 5 p.m. and fully extinguished it 10 minutes later.
