A fire at the old Waialua Sugar Mill this afternoon caused an estimated $1.2 million in damage, fire investigators found. Fire damages include an estimated $1,012,500 to the structure and $180,000 to its contents. No cause has yet been determined, the Honolulu Fire Department said tonight in a news release. “It was reported that no one was inside the structure at the time of the fire,” HFD said. No one was injured in the three-alarm fire. An hour after the first alarm, HFD was continuing to relocate and send additional personnel. Firefighters brought the blaze this afternoon under control in an hour and a half. The fire personnel first on scene found that half of a one-story warehouse was involved with smoke and flames. It was being used as a wood mill, HFD said. The first alarm was at 3:04 p.m. The first unit arrived at 3:10 p.m. and was brought under control at 4:29 p.m.
