Firefighters were called to the scene of a fire in Wellington early this morning.

Four fire trucks were called to Waripori St in the Wellington suburb of Berhampore about 6am, central fire communications shift manager Mike Wanoa said.

He said the top storey of a three storey property was on fire. Firefighters have since managed to control the blaze.

Fortunately, no one was home at the time of the fire, Mr Wanoa said.

He said fire investigators were now working to establish the cause of the fire.
