Road reopens as firefighters douse blaze

Firefighters have contained a building blaze which closed the main road through north Dunedin for two hours.

Crews were alerted to the fire on Great King St North about 6pm on Saturday.

Four fire trucks had been working to put it out and there were no reports of injuries.

A fire investigator had been notified.

NZTA Waka Kotahi said the road was closed for about two hours between Union St West to St David St.

It had now reopened but was down to one lane.
