Firefighters are battling a large blaze on State Highway One north of Turangi this morning which has claimed three buildings on one property.
Northern Fire Shift manager Daniel Nicholson said a two-storey house, an adjoining garage and a building in front of the house was well ablaze near Mission Point.
He said the alarm was raised just after 3.50am and fire crews arrived to find the three properties “fully involved in fire”.
Three fire crews and a tanker are at the fire and are trying to stop it from spreading to neighbouring properties.
There are no reports of people missing or injured.
