Recently saw an aerial video where an entire neighborhood in Laihana had burned down *except* for the concrete block structure small ILEC CO.

Pictures I have seen of other ILEC sites in Hawaii closely resemble some GTE sites in the Pacific Northwest (now Ziply), which makes sense with the history of GTE in Hawaii.

Does anyone have some more detailed photos or examples of a telecom site that's survived while everything else around it is burned up?

I'm seeing that 80% of Laihana is burned out, but that also 80% of the fire is now contained.

It's like a war zone.
