A large grass fire in Te Puna that was threatening a property has been contained.
The fire started on Pitau Rd in Te Puna about 3pm, a Fire and Emergency NZ spokeswoman said.
At its peak, the grass fire was 100m by 100m and was threatening a nearby property, but three fire crews quickly contained it, she said.
She said crews were mopping up the leftovers.
The fire was not being investigated at this stage.
