A person has been treated for burns after a house fire in Pokuru, south west of Te Awamutu.
Fire and Emergency were called to the single-storey home at 12.18am on Tuesday.
A FENZ spokesperson said four crews supported by two water tankers fought the fire, and contained it in about an hour.
St John's Ambulance said a single occupant was treated for moderate injuries but did not need to be hospitalised.
Fire investigators will return to the scene to try to determine the cause of the fire.
