An Ahipara house was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived on the scene earlier this afternoon.
Five Far North crews turned out to tackle the blaze at the single-storey residential dwelling in Te Kōhanga, Shipwreck Bay, around 2pm.
Fire communications shift manager Josh Pennefather said the fire was "well-involved" when they arrived at the scene.
Footage posted on social media showed a dark chimney of smoke cutting through the blue skies near the beachfront. Charred scrub can be seen in a video filmed from a distance away.
Pennefather said there were no reports of injuries.
