Emergency services are at the scene of an early morning fire that has destroyed a West Coast community hall.
The blaze broke out in the Mokihinui community hall, on State Highway 67 halfway between Westport and Karamea, about 3am this morning.
Fire crews from Granity and Waimangaroa rushed to the scene.
However, Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman Andrew Norris said they were unable to save the old building.
