Two dozen firefighters have rushed to the scene of a fire in a high rise central Auckland apartment building this morning.
Aura Apartments residents could be seen milling around the outside of the Cook St block after the alarm was raised at 10.44am. No one was believed to be injured.
Six fire trucks carrying a total of 24 firefighters were sent to the fire on the building’s 9th floor, along with crew from specialist support vehicles, Fire and Emergency Northern Communications shift manager Lauren Sika said.
