The Football Ferns were forced to evacuate from their Auckland hotel after several fires on Saturday night.

Multiple blazes broke out at the Pullman at around 7:50pm, leaving the building "smoked-logged".

Fire and Emergency told Newshub the fire had hit the second-alarm level, however it is out now.

Fire and Emergency northern communications centre shift manager Mau Barbara told Newshub seven fire trucks were in attendance, with about 26 firefighters.

Fire investigators are at the scene as well as Police, and the cause is still being determined.

"The Football Ferns team and staff have been temporarily evacuated from the Pullman Hotel, their team base for the FIFA Women's World Cup, due to a fire," NZ Football told AAP.

"All of the team and staff are safe and accounted for." 

There are no injuries reported at this stage.
