When fire personnel arrived on the scene at 8:18 p.m., they discovered water flowing out from a sixth-floor apartment of a 30-story building.
HPD personnel noticed that while the water was running out of the apartment, there did not seem to be fire or smoke emanating from the building.
Fire personnel made their way to the sixth-floor apartment. When they identified which apartment, they were able to gain access.
HPD confirmed that there were no occupants and proceeded to locate the fire.
However, what they found was not a fire because the sprinkler system had fully extinguished the fire prior to their arrival, according to HPD.

Fire personnel also went the extra mile to assist with removing water from the building so that residents could return to their homes.
HPD did report that the elevator shaft became flooded due to the sprinkler system’s response to the fire, and the building was without elevator car service until the elevator company can repair the water damage and place them back into service.
HPD reported that they closed this case by 11:45 p.m.
