Fire crews are battling a scrub blaze in Auckland’s Herne Bay where authorities estimate about 200sq m of land along a cliff face is burning near multi-million dollar homes.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokesperson confirmed they received a report of trees on fire in New Zealand’s wealthiest suburb at about 7.16pm today.
Fenz sent three fire trucks to assist with the job.
“It was approximately 200sq/m of scrub, toetoe and flax on fire on a cliff face,” a spokesperson said.
