HFD and HPD give December updates: 64 medical calls reported; burglaries and car break‑ins rose locally
Summary
Honolulu Fire Department reported 64 medical emergencies in December and provided home electrical safety tips; HPD Lieutenant Jiro Kagi said the district logged two burglaries and an increase in car break‑ins compared with the prior month.
Representatives from the Honolulu Fire Department and Honolulu Police Department gave month‑end reports to the Kahaluʻu Neighborhood Board.
A firefighter from HFD Station 37 summarized December statistics including zero structure fires, two nuisance (rubbish/brush) incidents, several activated alarms and 64 medical emergencies; the presenter emphasized home electrical safety—plug heat‑producing appliances directly into wall outlets, avoid running cords under carpets, and have a licensed electrician install additional receptacles when needed. The Fire Department offered an email contact for follow‑up: hfdnhb@honolulu.gov.
Lieutenant Jiro Kagi of HPD provided district crime statistics for December: zero motor vehicle thefts, two burglaries (up from zero the previous month), two thefts (down from eight), and five vehicle break‑ins (up from two). Lt. Kagi invited community questions and provided contact availability for residents to raise concerns.
Board members thanked both departments and no formal action resulted from these reports.
