A woman was treated for minor injuries and sent home after a house fire in Nadawa, Nasinu, on Tuesday night.
The National Fire Authority says the three-flat timber and corrugated iron home sustained over 90 percent structural damage.
The estimated cost of damage is $180,000.
The house was occupied by five people at the time and belonged to a retiree.
The NFA says it received a call at 7.45pm, and firefighters from Valelevu, Nakasi, and Suva responded.
It adds that the Valelevu crew arrived first and reported a well-involved fire.
The National Fire Authority states that the crew used multiple deliveries and a feeder line from a hydrant to bring the fire under control by 8.30pm.
Firefighters also stopped the flames from reaching three nearby homes.
An investigation is expected to determine the cause of the fire.
