Your checklist
  • Get low

    Smoke is poisonous and more deadly than flames.

    If you breathe smoke for more than a few breaths it can kill you.

  • Be fast

    A house fire can kill you in less than three minutes.

    Don't spend time trying to save possessions.

  • Close doors

    A closed door buys you time.

    It slows down the spread of fire, giving you more time to get to safety.

  • Get out - stay out!

    People have died by going back into a fire.

    Don't leave the meeting place to go back inside for any reason.

Large structure fire in Favona Auckland contained

Fire and Emergency New Zealand crews have contained a large structure fire in Favona, Auckland and are now working to extinguish it. 

Incident Controller Phil Larcombe says eight fire trucks and multiple support vehicles including ladder trucks are responding to the fire in a single storey commercial premises used for wrecking cars.

"We ask people to stay away from the immediate area around Titi Street to avoid the smoke and to allow emergency teams to work. Those close by should stay indoors with their windows shut," he says.

Fire and Emergency was alerted to the fire at 10.31am this morning.

There will be another update when the fire is extinguished.
