A house in Western Southland has been "extensively damaged'' by fire.
A Fire Service spokesman said crews from Nightcaps and Otautau were called to the house fire in Munro Rd in Taringatura, east of Nightcaps, at 9.20am today.
The house was engulfed in flames when they arrived, he said.
The fire in the small and unoccupied house was not being treated as suspicious, he said.
