  • county: includes the city and county of Honolulu. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 1-22
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

A duplicate original of every order made by each county fire chief shall be filed in the fire chief’s office and such duplicate original shall be admissible as evidence in any prosecution for the violation of any of its provisions. Unless an appeal has been instituted and is pending, the provisions of any order shall be presumed to be reasonable and lawful and to fix a reasonable and proper standard and requirement of safety from fire loss.
