Emergency services are responding to reports a power pylon or lines have fallen on an Auckland home.
A Fire Service spokesman told Stuff.co.nz that firefighters were investigating smoke coming from a Te Irirangi Drive, Flat Bush, home after a pylon had fallen on it.
However, Transpower communications manager Adele Fitzpatrick said a 220kv power line had fallen across the road.
"We don't now why this has happened at this stage - it's only just occurred.
"We don't expect any loss of power - but we advise people stay well clear because 220kv is a very high voltage line."
Firefighters were trying to "clear the area". No further details were available.
