Basement Smoke Alert in Honolulu | Honolulu News

Early Thursday morning in Honolulu, a smoke alarm triggered at the Topa Financial Center on Bishop Street—no fire, just a faulty AC unit sparking and knocking out power. Firefighters responded before 6 AM, confirmed no flames, and safely evacuated tenants using stairs. One person was checked by EMS, but no injuries. Hawaiian Electric cut power to aid response, and the building was closed for the day. Management says everything’s stable and repairs are underway—just a reminder that small electrical glitches can cause big disruptions.
