Kitchen fire at Auckland University Epsom campus goes to forth alarm for fire resources to battle the fire.


The University of Auckland's Epsom campus was closed for teaching today after a fire broke out in the cafeteria.

Black smoke filled the room where students were lining up for their morning tea about 10.20am.

A cafeteria staff member, who did not wish to be identified, said the fire had started in a deep fryer in the kitchen.

The university said in a statement that the building was evacuated promptly and there were no injuries.

The Fire Service was notified and quickly had everything under control.

Incident controller Dave Woon said it was fortunate no one was injured given the number of people who were on campus at the time.

"There's a lot of people on this campus and the outcome has been pretty good. It's been efficient and the fire was out in a short space of time.''

The incident went to a fourth alarm - the most serious category of fire - and 16 fire appliances from surrounding stations had attended.

"We think it's started in the cafeteria, it's gone through a couple of levels so we're unsure how that has happened,'' Mr Woon said. A fire safety officer would examine the deep fryer to see if it had caused the blaze.
