Investigations are underway into two major house fires keeping South Island firefighters awake throughout the night.  

Four crews were sent to a well-involved house fire in Seddon, south of Blenheim, at 10am on Sunday.

Meanwhile in Christchurch's New Brighton, heat from a house fire set off a domino reaction, causing a neighbouring home to ignite. 

No one was injured in either of the fires.
