A south Wairarapa bach was gutted by fire overnight.

Seven fire crews – water tankers and fire engines – arrived at Ocean Beach Rd, west of Lake Ferry, at 11.15pm.

The home was completely engulfed by the blaze, with a small scrub fire developing nearby.

The fires have been extinguished, but Fire and Emergency said the bach was “totally destroyed”.

All firefighters left the scene at 1.48am on Saturday.

Wellington Free Ambulance treated three patients at the scene, but none required transport to hospital.
