A house has been completely destroyed by a fire that occurred on Sunday afternoon.
Fire crews fought to stop a “ferocious” house fire in Pōkeno on Sunday afternoon from spreading to neighbouring properties. Emergency services were called to the fire, on Hillpark Dr about 2.45pm, which left a house completely destroyed. It had caused a large black plume of smoke to billow over the North Waikato town during the afternoon.
Jean Bell/Supplied Photos now show only the charred skeleton of the house standing following the blaze. Eight fire trucks attended the incident, Fire and Emergency shift manager Mark Richards said.
