An investigator has been called in to help determine the cause of a house fire in Rerewhakaaitu.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said two appliances from Rotorua were called to the fire at a property on Northern Boundary Rd about 8.30am.

The fire was extinguished and crews were dampening down hotspots, he said.

The spokesman said a fire investigator was heading to the property as a cause for the fire could not yet be determined.

Fire and Emergency confirmed this afternoon that no one was home and the house was destroyed.
