Dozens of firefighters have been battling a fire at a cafe in the South Auckland town of Pukekohe overnight.
Multiple calls were received from 12.09am reporting the fire, which was in a building on King St in the town centre.
Fire and Emergency NZ northern shift manager Carren Larking said the cafe measured around 6m by 2m but was in a two-storey building which also contained apartments.
When firefighters arrived the building was “well involved” in fire, she said.
