The Herald has received reports of a house fire in Leigh, north of Auckland.
Flames and black smoke have been seen billowing out of a house in a small coastal town, north of Auckland this evening.
A resident who lives not far from the house engulfed in flames near Cape Rodney Rd, in Leigh, said he saw the fire begin.
He described seeing alot of black smoke and flames begin to flicker through what looked like pohutakawa trees and three or four fire engines speed past.
"We are looking right down onto it, and with the flames coming through the trees it was hard to tell whether it was a house involved or not.
