A smokey haze could be seen around buildings on Hamilton’s Ellis St as emergency services responded to a rubbish fire after 4pm yesterday.
Police and Fire and Emergency personnel tended to the fire which started in a rubbish bin in an industrial area.
A Fire and Emergency spokesperson said at about 4.35pm they received multiple calls about a building fire in Frankton, Hamilton.
“We found a large rubbish fire next to a building and went to extinguish it,” the spokesperson told the Waikato Herald.
“At the peak of the fire, we responded with four fire trucks, one ladder truck and one specialist command unit.”
