Firefighters have contained a ''well involved'' house fire in Wellington. The back of the two-storey Inglis St house in Seatoun was badly damaged, a fire service spokeswoman said. A ''second alarm'' had been called, meaning the firefighters first in attendance had called for back-up, the spokeswoman said. Senior station officer Paul Lyall, at the scene, said had been contained shortly after 1pm. There was "extensive damage" to the ground floor and some upstairs bedrooms, he said. The owners of the property had not been at the house when the fire started, and had since been accounted for. There was nothing to suggest the fire was suspicious, Mr Lyall said. Inglis St had been closed to traffic while firefighters worked. TEXT- DOMPOST.CO.NZ NOT FOR BROADCAST Filmed by Sam James.
