Fire and emergency services are currently in attendance at a fire in Ranui.

A spokesman said they had arrived at a well involved garage and house fire on Swanson Rd.

"The garage was fully involved and has collapsed but I am not sure how much of the house has been damaged," he said.

Five appliances attended the fire. Four are still left at the scene and continue to dampen the fire.

He said he could see the fire from Grey Lynn.

The suburbs are about 13km from each other.

"A fire investigator is responding to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire."

There were no injuries and no neighbouring properties were involved.

A commuter on the Northwestern motorway said she could see the smoke as far away as Lincoln Rd and Hobsonville Rd.

"I glanced to my left and could see a whole heap of black smoke.

"It looked like it was about a 20-storey building. It was massive."
