Fire crews fought to put out a spreading kitchen fire in Marewa on Tuesday afternoon.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said fire fighters arrived at a single story property on Seddon Crescent at 3.20pm and took about an hour to extinguish the fire.
Two fire trucks from Napier attended the incident before calling for back up from a third.
The spokesperson said fire fighters called an ambulance for one occupant who had possible smoke inhalation.
A St John spokeswoman said one ambulance responded to the scene but was not required.
