Fire Damages Famous Kauai Resort
WAILUA, Hawaii - The shuttered Coco Palms resort on Kauai made famous by Elvis Presley has been hit by fire and sustained about $80,000 in damage.
Presley filmed his 1961 movie "Blue Hawaii" on the resort's lush grounds.
A Kauai County statement says firefighters were notified around 3 a.m. Thursday. They controlled the blaze in about an hour, but were called back later to douse a flare-up.
About 1,000 square feet of a portion of the resort that had been occupied by a retailer was destroyed. A caretaker's office sustained water damage.
The county statement says investigators are trying to determine the fire's cause.
