Home destroyed by electrical fire
A malfunction in a tankless electric water heater caused a fire
Thursday that destroyed a Niu Valley home, firefighters have
determined.
Honolulu Fire Department inspectors found the origin of the blaze in a
crawl space under the home at 440 Puamamane St., according to Capt.
Earle Kealoha.
Damage was estimated at $300,000 to the wooden building and $50,000 to
contents.
Kamehameha Schools trustee Nainoa Thompson and his wife, Kathy Muneno,
lived in the house but were not home at the time.

There was a video on utube years ago on a tank where the thermostat
went bad and the saftey relief failed, the tank went through the
ceiling
