Two people were taken to hospital after multiple fire crews were called to a house fire in Auckland overnight.
Emergency services were called to the Bucklands Beach property at around 2.30am.
"On arrival, they found a house well involved in fire," a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said.
Five fire trucks, one command unit, and one support unit were at the scene fighting the blaze.
Footage from the scene showed the two-storey building totally engulfed in flames.
FENZ said the upper floor was "well involved in fire".
Crews were still at the scene.
A St John spokesperson said two people were taken to hospital, one in a serious condition, and one in a moderate condition.
A third person with minor injuries was treated at the scene but did not require transportation.
At the same time, crews were also called to a commercial building on Lambie Drive in Papatoetoe.
The building's roof had caught fire, and four fire trucks, two ladder trucks, one command unit, and a support vehicle worked to extinguish it.
