A person has been taken to hospital after a boat fire at a Tauranga workshop.
Emergency services were called to the fire at a Cross Rd property about 12.20pm.
Fire and Emergency NZ shift manager Michael Anderson said the fire had been on a boat at a workshop.
It had already been extinguished when firefighters arrived.
Fire and Emergency sent two trucks to the scene.
Firefighters “made the boat safe” and helped ambulance staff before leaving.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they sent one ambulance, one operations manager and a rapid response vehicle to the scene and took one patient to Tauranga Hospital in a moderate condition.
Cross Rd is on Sulphur Point near the Port of Tauranga.
