The units were under construction so there was no indication of anybody being inside, they said. Fire and Emergency (FENZ) crew attend the blaze. Photo: RNZ / Liu Chen Jerome Tauevihi, who lives next door to the new block of units, told an RNZ reporter at the scene his family arrived home this morning to the smell of smoke. "We got inside the house, and then that's when we smelled the flames [...] so I told my family to evacuate, come up to the road, straight away." He said it looked like about four of the nine new units had been affected, and that the fire had spread quickly. Firefighters have been working to dampen down hotspots and the fire had since been extinguished. Fire and Emergency (FENZ) crews were called to a blaze on Hain Avenue in Māngere East on 6 July.
