Fire and Emergency says it responded to a significant house fire in Lower Hutt overnight.

A spokesperson said four fire trucks were dispatched to a house on Wainuiomata Road after reports of a house fire shortly after midnight.

They say the house was well aflame when crews arrived, and it took several hours to extinguish.

No one was injured in the fire.

A fire investigator will return to the scene on Thursday to determine the cause.
