Emergency services spent much of the night battling a large house fire in the Auckland suburb of Hillsborough.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand were alerted to the blaze at 12.52am and sent multiple crews to fight it.

A spokesman said the fire at the two-storey home on Hillsborough Rd was “well involved” when Fenz teams arrived.
“Looks like we’ve contained it to the property and the fire has since been extinguished,” said the spokesman.
