Several crews have been battling a suspicious house fire in Edgeware this afternoon.
The property was thought to be vacant, and no one was in the house at the time of the fire, the spokesperson said.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand said three fire appliances were called to the house on Edgeware Rd just before 1pm on Friday.
Large plumes of smoke were seen wafting across the area from about 1pm.
Fire crews remained at the scene this afternoon to dampen down any hotspots.
A Fenz spokesperson said the house was "well involved" in flames when crews arrived.
The blaze also spread to an adjoining garage.
