Smoke pours from the house during firefighting operations
From an inferno at the back of the house, flames spread to the front verandah

Today's early morning fire in Farrar Street, Grey Lynn, destroyed a villa. The back of the house, well alight when firefighters arrived, was gutted. Flames swept through to front rooms and into the roof void. A second alarm was transmitted for assistance at the scene when, at first, persons were believed still in the burning house. But everyone was later accounted for. Fire investigators and detectives are making inquiries into the cause. Our members set up lighting, issued refreshments and managed onlookers.
