Person suffers burns in Bay house fire

A fire that started in a Rotorua kitchen has left one person with burns.

Fire and Emergency got multiple calls about the burning single-storey home in Puriri Crescent, Hillcrest.

It was already in flames when crews arrived, around 5.40pm on Thursday, says Fire and Emergency northern communications shift manager Carren​ Larking.

One person at the scene had burns and was treated for smoke inhalation, says Carren.

One crew was still there at 8pm, dampening down the fire and making sure it didn't flare up again.
