A blaze in commercial buildings in Nuku‘alofa reached third-alarm status overnight.

Emergency services were first called to the building at the corner of One Way and Uelingatoni roads in Kolofo’ou at around midnight, reports said.  

A streamer who livestreamed the incident on Facebook claimed the buildings included Teta Tours’ office and former Loni theatre, two of the Nuku’alofa long serving businesses in the capital.
