Emergency services were called to the scene at 10.36am on Tuesday.

Five fire trucks were called to a blaze on the West Coast just west of Kumara on Tuesday.

Emergency services were called to the scene at 10.36am.

Three appliances from Kumara, Greymouth and Cobden arrived on the scene to a “well involved” fire in a two-story dwelling on a mezzanine floor, a fire and emergency spokesperson said.

A second alarm was activated, and further two appliances were called to the scene but were later turned back.

The fire is now out and a fire investigator has been called to the scene.
