No one caught in Mangakino house fire

Police do not believe anyone was caught inside a fire that destroyed a house in the Waikato town of Mangakino.

Firefighters were called to the burning house on Monday morning and initially two people were unaccounted for, the Fire Service says.

However, later on Monday police issued a statement that was no longer the case.

"While it's understood two people lived at the address on Rimu St, it's believed no-one was inside the property at the time of the fire."
