A woman has been rescued from an apartment fire in Auckland’s CBD.
About 40 firefighters with 13 fire engines battled the blaze at the Greys Ave address at 2.30am.
It is understood the apartment is owned by Kāinga Ora.
A woman was brought out on a stretcher and taken away by paramedics.
A Fire and Emergency spokesperson said the last fire engine left the scene at 3.15am.
They said a fire investigator would be there later today.
A resident said such events happened at the apartments “all the time”.
“They just put us in here, suppose it is a warm place, but it happens all the time; [the] cops [are] over it.”
