Tokoroa house fire: Crews battle blaze at Billah St property

Fire crews have battled a house fire in Tokoroa this morning.

A Fire and Emergency spokesman said two crews and a support vehicle were sent to Billah St just after 5am.

On arrival crews found an abandoned house well involved in fire, he said.

“The bulk of the fire has been extinguished and crews were dampening hot spots. A fire investigator will go to the scene.”

A police spokesman said they were called to the scene at 5.20am.
