A Rotorua person has been treated for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in a laundry overnight.
The Hannah's Bay property in Willow Ave was at the centre of a response from firefighters at 10.26pm. They were responding to reports of a house fire.
However, when they arrived the fire had in fact been contained to a washing machine, a fire communications spokesman said.
The fire was also out on arrival.
One person was treated by St John ambulance staff for smoke inhalation.
