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.

Glen Innes building fire update #2

Fire and Emergency New Zealand has contained a building fire at Mayfair Place in Glen Innes, Auckland this morning.

Incident Controller Shane Munro says there are still eight crews at the Work and Income building, checking for hotspots and dampening them down.

Fire investigators are also at the scene.

"We responded to the fire at around 7am, and had 15 crews and additional support vehicles at the height of the blaze," he says.

"As with any building fire, please avoid the smoke and keep doors and windows closed."
