An electrical fire broke out at Auckland strip club Showgirls this morning.
Firefighters were called to the scene in Auckland's CBD at about 11.30am, a Fire and Emergency (FENZ) spokesperson said.
Eight firetrucks and a support vehicle attended, the spokesperson added.
Police said a stretch of Customs Street East was closed to traffic due to the incident.
"The road is closed between the intersections with Commerce and Gore streets," a statement said.
"Fire and Emergency NZ are currently responding to a fire. Those heading into the CBD are advised that closures are anticipated to be in place for at least 40 minutes or so."
FENZ said the fire was at the rear of the building.
Bus services were also being rerouted around the closed road "until further notice", Auckland Transport said.
