One person has been burned in a kitchen fire in Katikati this afternoon.
Katikati fire station officer Brendan Gibbs said they responded to the fire at about 4.15 and the fire was out by the time they arrived at the scene.
A woman was "quite badly burnt" on one of
her hands, he said, and she was receiving medical attention from St John Ambulance.
"She forgot she had a pot on the stove and was alerted to it by smoke alarms," Gibbs said.
He said there was no major damage to the house, but the kitchen had been left "very, very black".
