Gas leak prompts evacuation at Costco Iwilei

Aug 19, 2026

A suspected gas leak forced fire crews to the Costco in Iwilei, and the store was cleared out — disruptive for shoppers but no injuries reported.

  • Fire crews rushed to the Iwilei Costco after an apparent gas leak.
  • The whole store was evacuated as a precaution.
  • The call came around the same time as a separate collapse incident on Oahu.
  • It is not yet known whether weather played a role in that collapse.

Outlook: Expect the store to reopen once crews confirm the leak is sealed and the building is safe.
