A fire in a farm factory on State Highway 1 in northern Manuwatu has been bought under control, police say.
The fire at an old chip factory near Hunterville was called in by someone driving past about 4.50am, Constable Dion Kumeroa told NZPA.
"It looked like the factory had farm equipment in it."
No one was in the factory when it caught on fire, he said.
It was not yet known whether the fire was suspicious.
