Video footage shows flames billowing from the home in Mount Victoria.

A fire investigator and police will this morning begin their investigation into a suspicious house fire in Wellington last night.

Ten fire engines were called to the scene on Austin Street in Mount Victoria at around 9.20pm, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson told 1 NEWS.

The blaze at the two-storey property has since been put out, but a neighbouring home was also damaged in the fire.

No one was injured.

It comes after a suspicious fire damaged multiple properties in the nearby suburb of Newtown earlier this week.
