Six fire trucks are battling a blaze in Hastings at an old Watties-owned building that is under demolition.
Fire and Emergency said there were no reports of anyone in the building or being injured, and crews were working to suppress the fire on the corner of Tomoana Road and Richmond Road.
A plastic tank and cladding are on fire - and the blaze covers an area the size of two tennis courts.
