One person has been found dead following a house fire at a property in Wellington's Northland this morning.
Police and FENZ responded to the scene around 7.20am at a property on Creswich Terrace.
FENZ say that upon arrival, there was a large amount of smoke visible.
Three fire trucks were in attendance, and specialist fire investigators were at the scene.
"We know a fire in your community can be a shock and make you think about fire safety in your own home. A fire can happen to anyone, so we ask you to please do things to protect you, your whānau and home in the event of a fire," a FENZ spokesperson said.
Police say further enquiries into the circumstances of the fire by themselves, and FENZ will begin.
The death has been referred to the Coroner.
