A Blenheim food warehouse has been badly damaged in a fire overnight.
The blaze at Up Marketing and Sales on Timandra Place started about 3.20am, a southern fire communications spokeswoman said.
Four appliances attended the scene and it took about two hours to contain the fire.
The building was "well involved" by the time the fire service arrived, she said.
A fire investigator will determine the cause of the blaze.
