About 50 firefighters have battled a petrol station blaze on Auckland’s Great South Road.<\/p>\n
Fire and Emergency received an alarm activation for the fire at the Z petrol station at Takanini at 3.45am on Monday.<\/p>\n
The petrol station is connected to a fast food restaurant.<\/p>\n
Part of the building’s roof was dismantled to help with damping down hot spots.<\/p>\n
By 6am the fire was almost out, and no one was injured.<\/p>\n
In a statement, police said Great South Road, near the intersection of Taka Street and Walter Stevens Drive, was closed in both directions.<\/p>\n
It would remain closed until the scene was cleared.<\/p>\n
“Diversions are in place, however motorists are advised to expect delays and to avoid the area where possible.”<\/p>\n
