Animal rescue services have been brought in to help at a house fire in East Auckland, after dozens of cats were caught up in the blaze.
Fire crews are at a property in Golflands after a fire broke just after 10.30am.
Northern fire communications shift manager, Daniel Nicholson, said the property is a cat rescue and a number of cats were inside at the time.
"We have a request to the SPCA to assist," he said.
