State Highway 6 near Queenstown has reopened after firefighters rushed to extinguish a fire in the roof of a two-storey home in Frankton.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said crews were called out at about 1.25pm after a fire broke out in the roof space of a residential property.

The house, on State Highway 6 near the intersection with Grant Rd, is a two storey structure.

A Hato Hone St John spokesman said three patients, all in minor conditions, were assessed at the scene. 

Four crews from the Queenstown, Frankton, Arrowtown and Alexandra stations were in attendance.
