A person has been arrested for “obstruction” after an early morning house fire in Christchurch.
Emergency services were called to reports of a house fire in Mackworth St, Woolston at around 12.20am.
Fire and Emergency NZ say they found the blaze “well-involved” when they got there,
responding with two appliances.
There were initial reports that someone may have been inside, but they “quickly confirmed that all persons were accounted for“.
A third appliance was called, and a fire investigator was requested. They are expected to be on the scene this morning.
