Crews were called to a fire at a Napier landscaping supply store overnight.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said they were alerted to a fire at BioRich Compost in Awatoto around 1.50am.

The fire had taken hold in a compost heap, he said.

Three crews from Napier and Hastings went to the scene. The fire was extinguished and crews left by 5am.
