Firefighters are trying to control a large blaze at a chicken farm in New Plymouth this morning.
Central fire communications shift manager Jan Wills said emergency services were called to the scene of the fire at 5.45am.
She said 10 fire trucks were currently battling the fire at a large chicken shed on the farm.
A limited water supply was making it difficult for firefighters to control the blaze, she said.
She said no-one had been injured.
"There are no reports of any injury but I don't know about the chickens, I'm not sure if it's an empty shed."
