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.
