The Civil Defence Emergency status for the Hastings District has been lifted.
The Hastings District Council made the decision at 1:55pm today that the fires could now be managed with local resources.
Hastings mayor Lawrence Yule said this emergency declaration, which came on Monday afternoon after five fires burned across the region, was put in place so council could call on resources from outside Hawke's Bay.
"It is a great relief that all the resources we were able to gather in have got us to where we are today and we are able to lift this declaration," Mr Yule said.
Though the emergency status has been lifted Hastings District Council local incident controller Alison Banks said it was not a sign that the fire risk in the region had changed.
