Fire and Emergency were called to the warehouse on Victoria Street shortly before 1pm.

Spokesperson Geoff Purcell said the roof of the building had collapsed in the blaze.

Emergency crews had to be washed off because asbestos cladding was on the outside of the warehouse.

About 150 people were evacuated from a nearby church, but there was no longer any risk to the public.
