Massive factory fire in Penrose disrupts trains

From Morning Report, 8:21 am on 27 October 2017

A massive fire in a factory in the Auckland suburb of Penrose overnight has disrupted trains this morning. Firefighters battled the blaze at a concrete-manufacturing facility on Great South Rd for much of the night. Auckland Transport says there's a risk the building will collapse so services running from the nearby Westfield, to Newmarket are suspended until further notice. Nikhil Nanda manages the G.A.S station opposite the factory and watched the drama unfold.
