Two people were burned in a house fire in central Whanganui yesterday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to a flat near the corner of Ingestre and Harrison streets at about 3.27pm, where a crowd of people had gathered.
Several neighbours called emergency services and the fire was "well involved" when four fire engines arrived.
Two people were in the flat but managed to get out of the building when firefighters arrived.
Whanganui station officer Aaron Summerhays said both had minor burns and smoke inhalation.
