Hāwera house fire under investigation after 10 crews respond
Ten South Taranaki fire crews battled a house fire in Hāwera overnight.
Fire and Emergency shift manager Ange Munro said crews were called about 9.40pm, and the house was well alight when they arrived.
Everyone in the house was accounted for, Munro said.
Eight fire engines and two specialist vehicles from Hāwera, New Plymouth, Eltham, Manaia and Pātea responded.
Munro said crews began to downscale around midnight and had since left the scene.
The fire is being investigated.
