Police on Oʻahu are investigating a possible case of arson related to a trailer fire at a filming location on the North Shore.

Fire officials said five units responded to an emergency call reporting a fire in Haleʻiwa late Sunday night, near Kamehameha Highway and Cane Haul Road.

The trailer was located at a base camp and crew parking lot used in the filming of the live-action remake of the 2002 Disney animated movie "Lilo & Stitch."

No injuries were reported in the fire, but officials estimated damages at more than $200,000.

"Lilo & Stitch" was the first feature-length animated movie set in Hawaiʻi. It tells the story of a 6-year-old Hawaiian girl who invites an extraterrestrial creature named Stitch into her ʻohana.
