An early morning fire has "severely damaged" the upper floor of a house in Wairoa.
Fire and emergency shift manager Murray Dunbar says four fire engines from Wairoa, Gisborne and Nuhaka fought the fire at Campbell St for nearly three hours on Friday.
There were no injuries reported at the incident which started about 2.14am, he said.
The upper floor of the house was severely damaged.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, but a fire investigator would be conducting an investigation to determine the cause.
