Fire fighters had a call out to Port of Tauranga on Saturday night at about 8.30pm where they extinguished a timber threatening fire.
Senior station officer at Tauranga Fire Station Jeff Maunder says there was a large initial response to the call as it was reported to be at Hexion Chemicals on Totara Street. There was no chemical threat at the fire, however, and fire fighters were able to control the situation promptly, meaning 'it didn't get going”.
Jeff estimates about five per cent of the port building was ruined by the blaze.
