"Honolulu Fire Spokesman Capt. David Jenkins said today the status change was based on the number of responding assets that include over 120 firefighters and 15 fire engines."

In NYC that'd be between two alarms (25 units, 106 firefighters) and three (33 units, 138 firefighters), although even the two-alarm fire has more units responding.  And you thought it was just Hawaii real estate, gasoline and food prices that were inflated.
