Hāwera building fire: Multiple Fire and Emergency NZ crews on scene

Multiple crews are at a building fire in Hāwera.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokeswoman said they received a 111 call from a member of the public about smoke coming from a commercial building just after 7am.

“On arrival crews found a fire in a roof space.

“At this stage the fire is contained to the roof and we are still actively at work extinguishing it,” she said.

Eight fire appliances, six specialist vehicles and one aerial appliance are on scene from Hāwera, Okaiawa, Manaia, Eltham, Stratford, New Plymouth and Whanganui.

The spokeswoman said there were no reports that the building was occupied and there were no reports of injuries.
