Fire crews were called to two separate incidents in Auckland early this morning – a house fire in Remuera and a smoke-logged high-rise in the city centre.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand said nine crews and several support vehicles responded to multiple calls around 1am about a house fire on Hupua St, Remuera.

Crews arrived to find a two-story residential property “well involved”.

The fire is now contained, and all occupants are accounted for.

After being evacuated safely, the occupants were treated for minor injuries.

Two crews remain at the scene, and a fire investigator will examine the cause this morning.

Police said they will be working with Fire and Emergency investigators to “understand the circumstances surrounding the fire to determine next steps”.

Fire and Emergency was also alerted to a private smoke alarm at a 15-storey residential building in Auckland City Centre around 5am.

Nine crews responded after smoke was reported on level four.
