Auckland Transport tweeted a warning to motorists about a road closure at Nelson St.
"Part of Nelson Street is closed due to a fire at the Sky City Convention Centre.
"Detour details are not yet available but delays and possible cancellations are expected."
A major fire seriously damaged SkyCity's yet-to-be completed convention centre in October 2019.
The 2019 fire took days to put out and caused some workplaces to evacuate as smoke drifted across the city.
It was later found to be caused by a gas torch, which accidentally left cardboard material smouldering on top of the under-construction centre.
The man was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.
