Firefighters in the lower North Island are battling a blaze at an empty house in Featherston that is believed to be suspicious.

Four fire crews from Wairarapa were called to the Wallace St property just after 2pm.

Shift commander Mike Wanoa says the house was "fully involved with fire" when they arrived, and fire trucks from Wellington have been called in to help.

Police say the fire is being treated as suspicious and they are investigating.

The house is believed to be abandoned.
