A large fire has destroyed a family's home in West Auckland overnight.
And there were dramatic scenes when it broke out just after 12.30am - on Seymour Rd, in Sunnyvale, Henderson - when a woman was seen running around outside the property calling for her baby.
A photographer told theHerald that when he arrived, the scene was "full on".
"The residents of the home had their vehicle parked on the road - with their dog inside," the photographer said.
A number of videos of the huge blaze have since appeared on social media - including some before fire and emergency services arrived.
As flames and black smoke can be seen coming from the house, partly lit by a nearby street light, neighbours can be heard calling out to a man still near the building.
