New Zealand's Women's World Cup squad faced a moment of alarm when a fire broke out in their Auckland hotel on Saturday. However, the team has confirmed that all players and staff are safe, and the situation has been brought under control.
The cause of the fire remains unclear, but authorities from the Fire and Emergency department reported "multiple blazes" at the hotel, which have since been extinguished. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, although some individuals at the hotel received treatment for smoke inhalation.
