More than 20 firefighters battled a blaze in a Waimate shop this morning.

The fire service was alerted to the Mill Rd blaze in premises formerly operated as a takeaway and grocery store about 8.45am.

The building appeared to be used for storage.

Two units from Waimate and one unit and a rural fire tanker from Glenavy attended the fire.

Damage to the interior of the building appears significant.
