"Fully involved" house fire in Waipango

Six fire appliances have extinguished a "fully involved" house fire on Central Road in Waipango this afternoon.


Fire and Emergency New Zealand community engagement advisor Sally Chesterfield said appliances came from Riverton, Wallacetown, Tuatapere, Orepuki and Thornbury to attend to the "quite large" fire.


While the source of the fire was still to be confirmed, Ms Chesterfield said the person who called in the fire said it did seem to start from the dryer in the laundry room.


"Always a good reminder to clean your dryers out," she said.


There were no reported injuries from the fire, she said.
