Fire crews battle large blaze at camper van storage site in Mangere
A large fire at a camper van storage site in south Auckland is sending toxic smoke billowing over the region.
Fire crews were called to THL Rentals on Richard Pearse Drive, in Māngere, around 5am on Thursday.
Shift manager Daniel Nicholson said 19 fire trucks were at the scene at 6.30am, and the fire was at the fifth alarm stage.
A Stuff photographer on site said the fire was under control by around 7.30am.
Grant Webster, chief executive of THL, which owns Maui, Britz and Mighty campervan companies, said no staff were at the site when the fire started and it would be “inoperable for some weeks”.
There was minimal damage to camper vans but “severe” damage to the building.
A statement from Webster on the NZX site said there appeared to be damage to about 10 motorhomes and “substantial damage” to the building that houses the office and workshop.
