A fire investigator has been called after a wheelchair-bound resident was trapped in a house during a bedroom fire in Invercargill.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said two crews attended a house fire in Chelmsford St, Windsor, about 3.10pm yesterday.
When they arrived they found a small fire in a bedroom had been extinguished, the spokesman said.
There had been two occupants in the house — one in a wheelchair had been unable to evacuate the building — but both were checked by ambulance staff.
