Fire crews have extinguished a house fire in the suburb of Browns Bay on Auckland’s North Shore overnight.
Fire and Emergency NZ northern shift manager Garreth Lewis said crews were called at 2.24am and found the two-storey house “well involved”.
At the incident’s peak, three trucks and one specialist command unit attended, Lewis said.
Video from the scene on Carlisle Rd shows part of the house ablaze and smoke billowing as onlookers including children stand nearby, wrapped in blankets.
