A fire on Monday night destroyed a 400 square foot abandoned structure in Haʻikū before spreading to surrounding brush and trees.

The incident was reported at around 10:15 p.m. on Monday, July 10, 2017.

Fire officials say they had to make access down very steep and difficult terrain to find the source of the smoke and flames, located in a gulch below Kaupakalua Road near Nilu Place.

Damages to the structure were estimated at $1,000.
