A house fire in in Alexandra tonight was started in the kitchen, Fire and Emergency New Zealand says.
The fire at a property in Ventry St was first described as well-involved when crews arrived before 8pm.
However, about 8.50pm, a spokeswoman confirmed it was a kitchen fire that was out upon the fire crew's arrival.
One person reportedly suffered burns, she said.
A St John spokeswoman said one ambulance responded and medics assessed and treated one patient in a moderate condition. They were transported to Dunstan Hospital.
