A fire is burning through a shed at a mushroom farm in Auckland’s Kumeū.

The owner of Mushborn said it was “just a little fire” and that “they are all okay”.

Fire and Emergency NZ was called to the rural property just before 1.30pm.

Four trucks, two water tankers and a commander unit were sent to the property, where the single-level shed measuring 15 x 20m was in flames.

Mushborn is a mushroom grower and home grow kit specialist at 45 Tawa Rd, Kumeū.

A fire and emergency spokesman told the Herald no one was trapped and there was no threat to life.

Crews remain at the property.
