The blaze at an Auckland supermarket is being investigated as suspected arson, police have confirmed.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand crews rushed to Countdown Mt Wellington yesterday at 6.11pm after the building’s fire alarm alerted nearby brigades.
The fire was in the shopping area and was doused with a firehose when the firefighters arrived minutes later, a Fenz spokesperson told the Herald.
Six fire trucks and support vehicles responded to the blaze, they said.
