A big fire at Alliance Group's Pukeuri meatworks in North Otago yesterday will prevent any processing for at least another day.

Ten fire appliances, some from as far away as Dunedin, battled the fire at the plant, 10km northeast of Oamaru.

The fire started in one of the plant's four boning rooms.
