A fire broke out at an Auckland restaurant overnight - caused by a pot left on the stove in the kitchen.
Fire crews were called to the Manna Kitchen Filipino restaurant shortly after 2am after reports of a blaze at the property.
Northern fire communications shift manager Colin Underdown said firefighters reported the blaze in the restaurant kitchen - caused by a large pot left on the stove.
The fire was quickly put out and the pot was brought outside - with steam coming out of it, as the fire fizzled out.
