One person remains unaccounted for after a fire at a Coromandel house early Friday morning.
Fire crews were called to the property on Kennedy Bay Rd just after 3:30am to find the house and garage ablaze.
The fire has been put out but three fire trucks remain at the scene.
Fire Service northern communications shift manager Colin Underdown says it's not yet known whether the person who's unaccounted for was inside the house when the fire started.
Fire safety officers will head to the property this morning to begin an investigation.
