A fire broke out at two Beachlands properties last night.
At 16:44 pm Fire and Emergency New Zealand received multiple calls to a house fire on First Avenue in Beachlands.
Fire and Emergency told the Times that the fire was well-involved by the time Beachlands Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived.
Two private properties were involved. The flames were in front of both houses and in the garage – locals note that it originated from the garage.
Fire and Emergency confirm the house next door partially caught fire.
The firefighters “got into an offensive interior attack”.
The fire was contained within about 50 minutes.
No one was injured.
A fire investigator is looking into the cause.
