A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson said crews from the Wigram, Ilam, and Spreydon stations were called to the blaze at 11.16am on Tuesday.
"We received multiple calls stating a house was on fire. When crews arrived, they found the house was fully involved in fire, and a third fire truck was sent to assist."
Two fire crews remained at the scene on O’Leary St this afternoon.
There was nobody inside the property at the time.
Fire crews worked to extinguish the blaze and remained on site to check for hotspots.
There were no injuries reported.
