The NFA says it received a call at 7.45pm, and firefighters from Valelevu, Nakasi, and Suva responded.

It adds that the Valelevu crew arrived first and reported a well-involved fire.
The National Fire Authority states that the crew used multiple deliveries and a feeder line from a hydrant to bring the fire under control by 8.30pm.

Firefighters also stopped the flames from reaching three nearby homes.

An investigation is expected to determine the cause of the fire.
