Firefighters are battling a blaze at a large industrial building near Hastings.
Emergency services were called to the industrial area of Whakatu, near Anderson Rd and across the railway line from the Fire Station Cafe, about 11.30am.
Flames and black smoke could be seen coming from inside the roof of the building, which looked to be in the process of demolition. Firefighters appeared to be gaining control of the fire as at noon.
One person at the scene was treated by a Hato Hone St John ambulance for minor smoke inhalation, but did not need to be taken to hospital.
