A man was taken to hospital with moderate injuries after a kitchen fire at a Napier motor lodge.
Firefighters were called to the scene of a small kitchen fire at Rocks Motor Lodge on Meeanee Quay about 1.20pm on Wednesday.
They were called to the scene after smoke was spotted coming from the building.
