One person has died in a house fire in the Far North overnight - the third fatal house fire in a single day.
Emergency services were called to a house in Hihi, Doubtless Bay, shortly after 10pm to find it completely destroyed by fire.
A northern fire communications shift commander
said a neighbour pulled a person from the property and performed CPR.
However, the victim was pronounced dead a short time later.
