A fire has taken hold at a panel and paint shop in the Auckland suburb of Mt Eden.
The blaze started at Auto Pro Panel and Paint on Boston Rd around 3.50pm, Colin Underdown of the Fire Service northern communications centre said.
It appeared the fire had started in the spray booth at the back of the building, where workers spray the panels with paint, he said.
It was possible the paint itself had been on fire.
It did not appear to be suspicious, Mr Underdown said, however fire investigators would begin a scene examination once the fire was completely out.
