A house fire near Bulls in the Rangit墨kei District needed crews from seven fire stations to fight the flames.
Fire and Emergency NZ was called to a two-storey, 200sq m property on Parewanui Rd at 9.24pm on Sunday.
Crews from Bulls, Marton, Whanganui, Manawat奴, Rongotea, Halcombe and RNZAF Base Ohakea responded, with seven fire trucks, three tankers and a command unit.
鈥淚t was a big night, they needed all the vessels that they could get to try and salvage what they could,鈥 a Fire and Emergency spokesperson said.
There were no reports of injuries and everyone was accounted for.
Crews were dampening down hot spots until 2.40am on Monday and left the scene at 5.17am.
Fire and Emergency said the roof had collapsed, making it difficult for crews to fight the fire internally.
A pump-tank from Whanganui revisited the scene on Monday morning to dampen any hot spots and assist the fire investigator.
The cause of the fire has not yet been identified.
