Six appliances were called to the NZI Insurance building, when the fire broke out in the ceilling of the first floor.

Northern Communications Shift Commander Colin Underdown says the blaze was contained to only the first floor, and fire fighters remained on the scene for two hours, dampening hotspots.

He says the fire service were alerted to the blaze, by a fire alarm.
