A beloved West Auckland supermarket has gone up in flames this morning, requiring a large response from emergency services to contain the blaze.
Emergency services were called to Nola's Orchard, on West Coast Road, Glen Eden, a short time after 7am following reports of a fire with eight Fire and Emergency NZ appliances attending.
Police were tasked with moving people out of the smoke zone as a precaution as they determined if there was an asbestos risk, Waitemata District Command Centre Senior Sergeant Tony Miller said on Facebook.
The fire was put out and hot spots continuing to be dampened on just after 9am.
It was confirmed there was no asbestos risk.
No people or other properties are believed to be at any risk.
Road closures which were in place from the roundabout at Glengarry Road/Parrs Cross Road to the roundabout at West Coast Road and Parrs Cross road have since been reopened.
