A Kailua-Kona home was damaged by fire late Saturday morning.
Firefighters responding to an 11:16 a.m. alarm found about a third of the Kealapua Street house on fire, with flames spreading to the rear of the home.
The heat had also ignited nearby vehicles and structures, a fire department statement said.
Arriving firefighters were concerned that the home’s occupants may still be inside, but they were soon located in the care of neighbors.
