A fire in a block of apartments in Whitianga, that started in the early hours of this morning, has now been extinguished.
Fire and Emergency (FENZ) said it was called to the fire at the complex on Buffalo Beach Road about 2.30am on Monday.
It said the fire was on the third floor of one unit, and was eventually contained from spreading further.
FENZ said five brigades had attended as a precaution due to the size of the complex, which had 10 buildings that were joined together.
The cause is unknown and fire investigators will be on the scene at daylight.

Auckland YMCA accommodation staff scared of job losses if restructure goes ahead
The proposed restructure will affect the jobs of accommodation staff at the YMCA's City Lodge and at the Y's Pitt Street hostel in Auckland. Photo: Google Maps YMCA North staff who work in the Auckland accommodation team say they're scared of losing their jobs, worry about their mental health deteriorating and safety being compromised, if a proposed restructure goes ahead. The front-line accommodation staff at the Y's Pitt Street hostel and its City Lodge had a week to give feedback on a restructure proposal. If the proposal goes ahead, workers called Guest Service Agents who have been working both across day and night shifts will only be able to work either in a day or night role. Staff question how the proposal fits with the YMCA's key values. Guest Service Agents are staff who deal with customers who are staying at the YMCA's hostel and lodge, manage security, cleanliness, bookings and billing. Currently, they work both day and night shifts and are stationed at either the Pitt Street Hostel or the City Lodge. In the proposal - these roles will be disestablished. Staff will now have to apply to be either a day worker or a night worker and will work across two different locations. Night GSAs are the only reception and security staff on site - it means they must handle emergencies and security incidents by themselves. A staff member who usually works night shifts at the City Lodge hostel told Checkpoint they did not feel prepared. "All we had was a safeguarding training. The safeguarding is more related to protecting children and vulnerable people rather than yourself. So, in the security sense, we're not prepared." They said the security company the YMCA contracts is not based on site, so GSAs must call a hotline if they face issues. "I needed to evict an intruder that was in the building. A visitor there was not allowed to be there. He said, 'okay give me 40 minutes and I'll be there.' If we have a real emergency, real urgency, that's what we [are] dealing with. "Probably we'll have to sort it out ourselves or call the police." The worker said while they had been working people had tried to break in, the worker told Checkpoint they often carried a knife as they felt unsafe. As part of their roles, on the night shift they must watch the entrances and exits and do hourly walk throughs of public areas. "Night shifts are extra tough on health, on physical, mental health. You are extra tired even if you're just sitting on a chair [most] of the night." As part of Auckland Council's service agreements, which started on 1 April this year, service partners must pay their workers the living wage. Some Auckland Council leisure centres and pools are managed by the YMCA, meaning those YMCA staff must be paid the living wage. However, because the YMCA's accommodation centres are not part of this service agreement, it means workers don't have to be paid the living wage. The worker said after the restructure if they would only be working nights and the pay remained the same at $25 an hour, it would be unfair as they would be taking on more risk and a heavier workload. "We are the ones who are taking aggressive customers, being on safety hazards, we are the ones taking the burden." The worker said the way the proposal had been carried out went against the core values of the YMCA around Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. If the proposal is confirmed to stay the same, there will be interviews held over the rest of July and staff will be told the outcomes of the interviews at the end of the month. For staff who aren't selected for the new roles, if their current role is disestablished, they will be made redundant from 1 August. If the worker loses their job, they're worried about the current job market and if they will be able to find work at all within the next couple of months. "We live pay check by pay check, so I don't have any savings to my name. I should have like $10 to my name. It will be devastating, honestly, and I'm sure [it will] affect any area in my life financially, emotional, mental health wise." On 15 July accommodation staff who work across the YMCA's City Lodge and Pitt Street hostel were sent a letter outlining the proposal. The YMCA said it was because they were facing financial underperformance due to a mix of structural and market-related challenges. They say the roles will give clarity to the workers' responsibilities and accountability. YMCA North chief executive Rebecca Russell said in statement the proposed new structure would see greater streamlining across the two accommodation sites. The YMCA is actively seeking feedback from affected staff and no final decisions have been made. Security was a top priority, she said - with measures including mandatory door locking, pass cards and external security able to be called if needed. Russell said she would be concerned if staff were having to arm themselves and this had not been raised with management. But anyone worried about safety should provide that feedback during the consultation, she said.

Anchor rediscovery reopens wounds from early encounter between Māori, European
The rediscovery of one of New Zealand's oldest European artifacts has reopened scars from an early encounter between Māori and a European explorer. An anchor that once belonged to the French ship Saint Jean Baptiste, captained by Jean-Francois Marie de Surville, has been located in the waters of Doubtless Bay in the Far North. In a storm in 1769 they lost an anchor and had to cut two more loose. Two of them have already been found - and the 3rd was discovered by Kelly Tarlton in 1982 - however the co-ordinates were misplaced until now. Photo: Hamish Williams Chair of Ngāti Kahu and Professor of Māori Studies at the University of Auckland Margaret Mutu said the crew of the Saint Jean Baptiste arrived in Doubtless Bay "in great disarray", several had scurvy and were nursed back to health by members of Ngāti Kahu. "That time of the year in December, January we know up at Karikari that that's a time when you're subjected to the tail ends of cyclones that come down from the Pacific, it happens every year. So storms were quite common and during a storm apparently one of their boats... got washed ashore. You know things get washed ashore up there at home, they're ours and we'll take them." Mutu said de Surville and his crew then "turned on" Ngāti Kahu, ransacked their kāinga (settlement) and then kidnapped a local rangatira named Ranginui. He latter died of thirst and scurvy aboard the Saint Jean Baptiste. The kidnapping was a portent of what was to come not unlike when Captain James Cook made first landfall at Tūranga, a visit that ended when the British killed or wounded nine Māori, she said. Ngāti Kahu chair Margaret Mutu Photo: RNZ / Leigh-Marama McLachlan Many years later Ngāti Kahu were approached at Haiti-tai-marangai Marae, not far from where the ship lost anchor, asking them to support a plaque commemorating de Surville, she said. "We talked about it at Haiti-tai-marangai... our mātua told us what had happened and we told those people to go away, we don't want to know about your de Surville." But she said the recovery of the anchor may be a chance to discuss this part of New Zealand's history. Mutu said one of the first things she did when she heard about this find was to ring home and make sure people there had heard it too. "Well people didn't know about it, so that's the first thing, we need to know about it, we need to sit down and talk about it and we will decide what happens to that anchor. "I just get a little bit annoyed about that people came into our territory, we welcomed them, we nursed them back to health, we saved them, they did the dirty on us and now they're coming back and telling us 'we're going to this, we're going to that, we're going to do the other.'" Heritage New Zealand have recommended the site of the anchor remain undisturbed until tangata whenua have been consulted, and the area can be assessed by a professional archaeologist.

Pair of sniffer dogs who failed training looking for new homes
A pair of Auckland sniffer dogs who couldn't pass their training are looking for new homes. Biosecurity NZ said Bernard the beagle would be better suited to a life of leisure than the fast-paced world of sniffing out contraband. His colleague Ozzy doesn't much like instructions being barked at him, preferring to do his own thing. Nonetheless, Bernard and Ozzy have had a high degree of training and they are in hot demand, with 50 households applying to adopt in just 24 hours. Felix Walton reports.
