A house fire that gutted the top story of an Omokoroa home is today being investigated by fire officials.
More than a dozen firefighters spent about three hours battling a house fire in Omokora last night.
When firefighters from Omokoroa Volunteer Brigade arrived at Harbour View Rd just after 5pm, the top floor of the two storey house was "completely involved" said fire chief Ian Blunt.
"The windows had already gone and flames were coming out the windows."
The Omokoroa firefighters were assisted by fire crews from Greerton and Waihi.
