Firefighters battled a large shed fire in Hastings on Sunday afternoon amid gusty winds.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) were called to two fires close together in Bridge Pā, on the outskirts of Hastings, just after 2pm on Sunday.
The first was believed to be caused by a rubbish fire that spread into a nearby hedge on Equestrian Lane.
A more serious blaze - in a separate incident - spread through a 30-by-30-metre implement shed at an orchard on Irongate Lane.
