A supermarket on Auckland's North Shore has had to be evacuated after a fire this evening.
Fire and Emergency were alerted to the blaze about 7.45pm, after the New World sign at the Brown's Bay supermarket ignited.
The building, which was open at the time, was evacuated with smoke entering the store.

A video posted on a Brown's Bay community group on social media showed flames coming from the building.
Four fire appliances including a high reach truck were deployed.
The fire has since been extinguished with two trucks remaining on scene.
Last month a massive blaze broke out at the New World Victoria Park supermarket in central Auckland, taking more than 10 hours to extinguish.
