By - Wanganui ChronicleA house fire in Whanganui this afternoon led emergency services to cordon off a street. Barrack St was cordoned off from Somme Parade to London Street. Tynan Hunter was driving past at 1pm when he noticed white smoke coming from the scene. "There was a lot of white smoke rather than the normal black smoke you would see." The house is an old wooden villa and was not badly damaged.
