A massive fire in Auckland has sent huge clouds of toxic smoke into the air, forcing people to stay inside and causing major disruption.
The fire broke out in a scrap metal yard in Ōtāhuhu overnight, and it could take at least 24 hours to put the fire out.
FENZ says it has responded to several fires at the site since 2017. For hours today, all trains in Auckland were ground to a halt - because the control centre had to be evacuated with toxic smoke in its vicinity.
The company that owns the yard - Sims Metal, says it will conduct a review of the incident and take appropriate action to mitigate the possibility of a recurrence.
