Three fire trucks from Hastings attended the scene and a fire investigator is en route to investigate the cause of the fire.

"The incident has been passed on to police," she said.

Police said they were advised about the house fire, but did not attend overnight.

"I assume we will be working with the FENZ investigator at the scene this morning to determine the cause or circumstances of the fire," a police spokeswoman said.
