A Waikato supermarket’s facade was set ablaze this morning after a mobility scooter parked outside caught fire.
Video posted to social media showed thick billowing smoke and bright orange flames climbing up the side of Te Kūiti New World.
The shell of a small vehicle outside the shop is fully engulfed in flames, as well as part of the roof above.
“HOLEYYY HELLYYYY!!” the video is captioned.
A Fire and Emergency spokesman said crews called at 8.20am found the mobility scooter ablaze outside the supermarket.
No one was injured in the blaze, which the spokesman said did not spread beyond the facade and has since been extinguished.
