In March this year:
A “massive” blaze at a meat byproducts processing plant near the Auckland-Waikato boundary overnight could be seen from kilometres away.
Emergency services received several calls about the fire in Lapwood Rd at Tūākau, about 8.20pm on Tuesday, a Fire and Emergency NZ (Fenz) spokesperson said. …
Tūākau Proteins is well known in the local area and has a strained relationship with some residents, due to the odours emitted by the plant.
As the headline says, terrible bad luck for the poor owners.
