The Fire Service has reported a relatively calm Guy Fawkes night with no major fires nationwide.

There was "nothing worth mentioning" for the top half of the North Island, a northern fire communications spokeswoman said.

Central fire crews attended 22 small blazes related to fireworks - mostly bush and rubbish fires, shift manager Tim Rees said.

"But it was mostly business as usual."

Southern fire crews looked after 28 fireworks-related blazes, but none were serious, a spokesman said.

The four-day period for selling fireworks finished yesterday.
