A large shed packed with sound and musical equipment has been destroyed in a major fire in Kerikeri.
The blaze broke out just before 1pm at a property on Waipapa Rd. Firefighters responded from Kerikeri, Okaihau and Paihia and were still dousing the flames at 2pm.
The shed is still standing but is extensively damaged.
The owner was not home at the time but other family members were on the scene. No one is thought to have been hurt.
With the hydrant on the other side of Waipapa Rd firefighters have installed metal ramps so cars are able to drive over the fire hoses.
