A massive fire destroyed a historic theater and a restaurant in Pahoa overnight.
The fire occurred at about 11:45 p.m. Sunday, according to resident Ryan Finlay. He said he woke up at about midnight and smelled something similar to a campfire.
When he walked out to his front yard, he saw the glow of the fire from the Akebono Theater about a quarter-mile away from his home.
There were no reports of any injuries.
Details on the fire from the Hawaii County Fire Department are pending. Police shut down a section of Pahoa Village Road from Kaleo’s Bar & Grill to Kauhale Street to investigate.
