HAWAIIAN OCEAN VIEW ESTATES – Hawaiʻi County police are investigating a reported case of arson in connection with a fire Wednesday morning in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates.

“My neighbor lady has lit the house on fire,” Anger says in the video. “She’s been dancing and throwing stuff into the fire, not trying to stop it.”
