House fire in Papakura: Crews find South Auckland home well ablaze

Fire investigators are due to trawl through a burnt-out home in Papakura, Auckland, after a fire tore through this morning.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman told the Herald they were called to a house fire on Cooper Pl just after 7am.

Two crews arrived to find the house “well involved” in flames.

A third crew was then dispatched to help fight the fire.

Firefighters did a “primary search” and “secondary search” of the building to find any occupants and no one was found.

The spokesman said they have called for a specialist fire investigator to look at the property.
