It took six fire appliances around four hours to deal to a blaze that gutted The Baker Man in Coopers Beach on Monday night, but it’s not thought to be suspicious.
Fire and Emergency NZ said it received the first callout to a building on fire at Coopers Beach at 10.40pm on Monday.
When the first firefighters arrived the building - housing The Baker Man - was well ablaze, and it took about four hours to finally bring it under control and put it out. Six appliances from Mangonui and Kaitāia attended the fire.
A Fire Safety investigator was at the scene on Tuesday morning looking into the cause, but FENZ said at this stage it is not thought to be suspicious.
