A large tree has fallen down on a house in the south east Auckland suburb of Pakuranga.
The tree came down on the house in Ti Rakau Drive just before 4.00PM.
Fire northern communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said it had made a large hole and caused substantial damage.
"We also believe there is the potential for the tree to fall further and completely crush the house, so we have a specialist rescue team out there using Acrow props to try and prevent that from happening."
