Emergency services are at the scene of a large fire which has badly damaged a hair and beauty clinic in Auckland’s Onehunga in Auckland.<\/p>\n
Photos from the scene near Onehunga Mall show a red glow from the blaze and billowing smoke.<\/p>\n
Fire and Emergency NZ said at least one person was evacuated from the commercial building which was ablaze, and about eight others were evacuated from accommodation in an adjoining building.<\/p>\n
FENZ had 12 fire trucks and multiple support vehicles battling the third alarm level fire at the two-storey building, and the fire was put out by about 6.30pm on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The fire was at Chocolate Af’hair hair salon in Onehunga Mall. The neighbouring accommodation was affected by smoke exposure, but there were no signs it was involved in the fire.<\/p>\n
“We received multiple calls to a building on fire shortly after 5.30pm,” a FENZ spokesman said.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, crews located the blaze at the rear of a two-storey shop in a building about 15mx15m in size.<\/p>\n
“Multiple crews went inside the building to carry out a fire attack, before requesting further support.”<\/p>\n
Seven fire engines, three ladder trucks and two specialist vehicles worked to extinguish the blaze alongside numerous support vehicles and a fire investigator.<\/p>\n
