SkyCity Convention Centre fire ruled an accident

From Checkpoint, 5:42 pm on 22 April 2020

The devastating SkyCity International Convention Centre fire that burned for three days last year has been ruled an accident.

The convention centre's roof - a Fletcher Building construction site - ignited on an otherwise-normal working day in Auckland's CBD last October.

The smoke lingered over the city centre for weeks as investigators began to dig to the bottom of how it all started.
