After rushing into a burning creating to rescue people, a Pacific man is being hailed as a native warrior.
When William Kuahine’s teaching helped the company save money next Saturday night in Honolulu, he had been a volunteer fire for Island Energy Services for seven years.
He claimed that his family first noticed the smoke coming out of an apartment building across the street when they were picking up dog snacks at the Hawaii Doggie Bakery in the Manoa area around 10:45 a.m.
” She said,’ Oh sweetheart, there’s a fire I think in the tower over there in that creating,’ and me you know, my history, I kind of just looked over my head only to test and I did notice smoke wisping through the windows”, Kuahine told local station KHON2.  ,
The power worker immediately stepped up and entered the difficult to get everyone out because she was at the right place at the right moment.
Kuahine continued,” I really did what I thought I had to do and was the right thing at the time.”
He made sure everyone left carefully at the units on the right side of the building first, which had not yet been impacted by the fireplace.
He then attempted to enter the burning house and knocked on the door, but no one responded.
” I proceeded to feel the door cause, you know, they teach you in fire training you do n’t just want to kick in a door, you have the chance of backdraft”, he told reporters.
When he finally decided the lock was warm enough for him to walk in, another good Samaritan joined him.
” So I ended up kicking in the door”, he explained. The boys in the room behind me followed me as we began to clear the area, and I went to the room where the flames was. And at that place, the fire was almost completely out of the room, almost touching the ceiling.
Kuahine was able to find out that no one was at home after going through the entire room.
The blaze was already in the living room at that point, and we had to simply leave.
Building people told KHON2 that they’re thankful for Kuahine’s noble efforts to inform them just in time.
” The group came up”, he said, giving funds to others who stepped in. ” The another person helped me out, you know. It simply worked out that way, with no one dead or hurt.
Kuahine spoke with Manoa’s Engine 22’s commander after the nearby fire division arrived to put out the fire.
” At the end, he asked for my last name once and I said I’m William Kuahine, and he said no way…Our fire engine that responded, we named that website Kuahine”, he said. ” It was brain- blowing. I was like, no method”.
He cited his past training as helping him get ready for this situation.
” At that time, I’m never suited to go into a fire,” Kuahine said.” I’d like to believe that from my education from my work prepared me for occasions like that,” he continued.  ,” I gotta help. And if my family needed assistance, I would love for someone to do it.
