A house has been destroyed after a large fire ripped through it late last night.
Fire crews were called to Calthorp Close in Favona, South Auckland, about 9.50pm after reports of a house blaze.
A northern fire communications spokesman said the single-storey building was well-involved when firefighters arrived.
A video of the blaze posted on Facebook shows huge flames and smoke coming from the building, as explosions and glass breaking can be heard in the background.
