A house fire in Holt has been contained after it caused a smoke haze across parts of Belconnen and prompted firefighters to ask people to avoid the area.
The ACT Emergency Services Agency said Fire and Rescue was called to Sellwood Street, Holt, shortly after 5pm.
One person has suffered smoke inhalation and has been transported to hospital by ACT Ambulance Service (ACTAS).
The cause of the fire has not been determined.
Due to the extensive damage to the property and the long operation to contain the fire, firefighters will remain on scene to investigate on Saturday morning.
