House gutted in Concord fire

A house has been gutted by fire in Dunedin.

Firefighters were called to the Concord house, on the corner of Davies St and Mulford St, at 11.36am, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said.

Station officer Brent Key said firefighters could see flames coming through the windows as they approached, and they found it well involved upon arrival.

"It was pretty gutted, pretty much from end to end," he said.

Nobody was home when the fire broke out, he said.

Fire crews left the scene about 3.40pm.

Fire investigator Mark Bredenbeck was at the scene this afternoon.

He would return tomorrow to try to establish the cause of the fire, he said.
