Fire engulfs honey store

A fire has broken out in the roof of a store selling honey near Taupo.

Auckland Fire Communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said the blaze started shortly before 7pm at The Honey Hive in Wairakei.

Mr Phillips said fire appliances from Rotorua, Tokoroa and Turangi had been called to assist.

"It [the building] was well involved in fire when we arrived but the fire itself has been contained to the roof void."

A water tanker was also on-route from Taupo, he said.
