Two people have been hurt in separate house fires in Hawke's Bay.
A fire in Hastings left a woman with life-threatening injuries yesterday morning and a person suffered moderate injuries in a fire in Central Hawke's Bay last night.
The first fire occurred in Kauri Pl, Mahora, Hastings, sometime between 3.30am and 6am yesterday.
A woman was found on the premises and was taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital.
A police spokesperson said the cause of the fire had not yet been established.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand Hastings senior station officer Michael Manning said two fire appliances and crews spent more than two hours at the blaze.
"Our crews located a woman inside the structure, she was removed and was treated by firefighters and paramedics.
"She suffered life-threatening injuries as a result of the fire."
