A helicopter has been called to a grass fire in Northland today.
The fire started on a property on Motukiore Rd, west of Horeke and was reported to be about half the size of a rugby field just before 2pm and spreading uphill into gorse.
A ground crew was at scene using a forestry hose to protect a house.
Volunteer firefighters from Kaikohe and Okaihau were also on their way.
