Flat Bush house fire contained

A woman has been treated for smoke inhalation after a large fire engulfed an abandoned house in the Auckland suburb of Flat Bush this afternoon.

The fire was fully involved when firefighters arrived at the Flat Bush School Rd property.

The house was empty at the time of the fire.

A woman was treated for smoke inhalation after flying embers from the fire started multiple grass fires in nearby areas.

Fire crews had the fire contained by around 5pm.

Smoke from the fire could be seen from up to 10km away in Mt Wellington and sparked multiple 111 calls.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
