Suspicious fire in supermarket

Fire safety officers are investigating a small blaze at a south Auckland supermarket which they say may have been deliberately lit.

The fire at the Woolworths supermarket in Papakura last night caused a small amount of damage in an aisle before sprinklers came on and the fire was extinguished.

The Fire service said three fire appliances attended the fire and it was being treated as suspicious.
