A house has been badly damaged in a Monday morning fire in Dannevirke.
Firefighters were called to the fire on Victor St about 11.10am, a Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson said.
Two appliances from Dannevirke and one from Norsewood attended the fire, which was well-involved by the time the fire service arrived.
Tararua Deputy Chief fire officer Peter Feierabend said no one was home at the time.
