No occupants were inside the building at the time of the blaze, and no injuries were reported.

The Honolulu Fire Department received a 911 call at 11:17 p.m. Wednesday. Six units with about 22 personnel responded.

The first unit to arrive on scene at 11:28 p.m. found a working fire on the second floor of a two-story, mixed-use structure at 1824 Dillingham Boulevard, which is the address listed for CPR Starters & Alternators and a rehab clinic.
