Two Wairoa Volunteer Fire Brigade appliances were late Monday morning at the scene of a fire which had severely damaged a house in the town.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said several calls were received raising the alarm about 10.15am and the first crew on the scene in Churchill Ave reported the structure was “well involved” in fire, and soon after that all occupants were accounted for and safely out of the building.
Firenz reported about the fire was also soon under control, but a crew was called back to the scene mid-afternoon.
