New World Victoria Park fire extinguished; store owners working to get back on their feet
“Currently, doing this is to support our people and emergency intervention, including evaluating the damage given to the store after being safe. The first days and still we are trying to raise the store for customers,” he said.
The store owners were willing to share more information when they were available. “In the meantime, we appreciate messages and support from the community.” Traffic from the Gulf of Herne to CBD, the next morning (Tuesday, June 17, 2025) on the top of College Hill “no entrance” signal prevented the route passing through the supermarket.
After sweeping the fire supermarket, customers had to leave their shopping and evacuate the fire alarm when they rang at 11.18 (local time). More than 80 firefighters were called from 20 fire tools to get rid of the fire. Speaking with New Zealand Herald, Mark Neville, a fire and emergency station officer, said that the firefighters stayed at a night to deal with any hot spot and ensure that the site of the site is safe.
Chris Quin, CEO of Foodstuff’s North Island, claimed that the fire broke out in a part of the renewed store. “This is an important event, there is a lot we don’t know about the future yet, but we are very pleased that people are safe right now,” Herald said.
Quin said the new world Victoria Park is a very important place for foodstuffs. “I don’t know what your plan to return to trade will be.” The first thing, fire and emergency can not be able to access the building safely until it gives us this. Secondly, frankly, too much water, too much smoke and too much carcinogen passed through the building. Probably damaged intensely, ”he added.
