A house went up in flames this morning after reports of a car on fire in Auckland's North Shore.

Northern Fire Communications shift manger Lauren Sika said firefighters were alerted to the blaze at 8.15am.

Multiple callers said a car fire was endangering a house at Ayton Dr in Totara Vale.

Two fire appliances responded.

"It was a well-involved house fire when we arrived," Sika said.

The fire was extinguished before 10pm and there was no danger to other properties now, Sika said.

A fire investigator also responded, and was at the property to determine what might have caused the fire.

There were no reports of any injuries.
