A building home to the Bible Society in central Wellington has been damaged by fire.
Firefighters spent an hour battling a blaze at the site, on the corner of Tory and Haining Street, last night.
Windows are blackened and burnt wooden debris can be seen outside.
Emergency tape ropes off the back of the building, while the scene smells of burnt metal.
A fire communications spokesperson said at the fire's peak, seven appliances, two ladder trucks, and three support vehicles were deployed.
There are no reports of injuries.
