A garage fire was "well-involved" at Tikitere, off Te Ngae Rd near Rotorua Airport this morning.
Two crews from Rotorua Fire Station are currently at the property on Hawthornden Drive.
A Rotorua Daily Post photographer at the scene said an external garage had caught fire and there was a boat inside it. Fire crews were dampening down the shed.
A Fire and Emergency spokesman said the garage was five by nine metres wide and there was no danger to the house or any other properties.
