An Otago Daily Times reporter at the scene said by 1.45pm the fire had been extinguished. She said the roof of the house had been damaged but it was not clear the extent of any further damage to the house.
A witness said she had heard the local siren and gone into the street to see flames rising from the house.
The house was unoccupied.
