A car lot was on fire in Mt Wellington, Auckland. A huge blaze which erupted in an Auckland car lot was sparked by a single cigarette dropped below a deck, a fire investigator has found. Every last car on the lot was destroyed. They found the fire was probably caused by a discarded cigarette dropping down under a wooden deck and into a pile of litter and debris. That pile would have smouldered slowly before catching alight and spreading to the lot, according to the incident report.
