A person has been take to hospital in a serious condition after a large ambulance call-out in Auckland.
Four ambulances and a rapid response unit were deployed to Swanson Road in Rānui just before midday.

Around 1.30pm, a number of sirens could be heard again in the area – lasting more than five minutes.
A nearby primary school, Rānui Primary, posted on its Facebook page at 2.20pm about the incident.
“There was an incident at Rānui Medical Centre today,” the post said.
“It is SAFE now but the road has been blocked and there will be traffic.”
It said staff from Rānui Action Project would be at the corner of the school to guide students.
“If you would like to pick your children up please ring office and arrange for them to stay in the office until you come.”
Police have been approached for comment.
