House gutted by huge fire in west Auckland's Glen Eden

A house in west Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland has been destroyed by fire on Friday afternoon.

Fire and Emergency responded to several calls of a Glen Eden home on fire at 3:15pm, a spokesperson told Newshub.

The blaze was well-involved by the time fire crews arrived, and a second alarm was raised.

At the fire's peak, five trucks were dousing the flames.

The fire was well involved by the time fire crews got there. It's since been extinguished.
