A fire in a light bulb fitting in a central Wellington building caused the building to be evacuated and a street cordoned off this afternoon.
The Fire Service was called to the Vodafone building near Midland Park on Lambton Quay shortly after 3.30pm.
Smoke could be seen billowing from a fourth floor window.
A fire services spokesman said there was a small fire in a light bulb fitting.
No one was injured, and workers were let back into the building just before 4pm.
