When the resident said the calls would be reported to the Fire <br />Department, the caller hung up. <br /> <br />To report suspected telephone scams, please call the Hawai'i Police Department’s non- <br />emergency number at 935-3311. <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
