Smoke and flames can be seen pouring from the Beaconsfield Rd house from Port Chalmers. One property is significantly damaged and more than three other neighbouring properties were smoke damaged. The fire was encroaching on neighbouring properties but all of the surrounding houses had self-evacuated, Douglas said. Firefighters at a major house fire on Beaconsfield Rd in Portobello.
