Emergency services are responding to a fire at the SkyCity NZ International Convention Centre in the Auckland CBD. 

Part of Nelson Street in downtown Auckland is closed due to the fire, with busses forced to use a detour around the street closure. 

Auckland Transport tweeted a warning to commuters to warn them about the street closure. 

"Nelson St remains the only closure at this point. The 132, 133 and 134 bus routes are detouring around the closure, but no stops are missed. We expect minor delays right now."
