Cause of Hawke's Bay fire under investigation

The cause of a fire that took hold at a Hawke's Bay packing store last night will today be investigated.

Seven appliances attended the blaze on Napier Road in Havelock North, which was fuelled by a large pile of packing crates outside the store.

Central fire communications shift manager Murray Dunbar said Fire Safety officers were to attend the scene today to try to determine the cause of the blaze, which had caused significant damage.
