Firefighters have put out a house fire in Christchurch, which sent smoke billowing across the city.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand said they received multiple calls about the blaze in St Martins, from about 11:45am on Labour Day.
Two fire crews responded to the Wilsons Road South address, but had finished at the scene before 2pm, a FENZ spokesperson said.
Only one residential dwelling was involved, he said, and no one was in the building at the time.
A fire investigator would be back at the site tomorrow.
