A tow truck with a van on its trailer have been destroyed in a suspicious blaze at an Auckland automotive yard.
Northern Fire Shift manager Megan Ruru said a truck and van parked in a Mt Eden automotive business were burning fiercely when the alarm was raised at 2.20am.
The burning vehicles were parked next to a building and firefighters held concerns flames would spread causing further damage.
"It seems as though the building has been saved," she said.
The fire was considered suspicious.
