An electrical fault appears to be behind a logging truck catching fire near Pōrangahau early on Friday.
The Pōrangahau Volunteer Fire Brigade was called to the scene on Pōrangahau Rd and Mangaorapa Rd about 3am.
They found the truck "well involved", a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said.
