A hedge caught fire in Taupo last night during what is suspected to be a fireworks display gone wrong.
Firefighters were called to the blaze about 9.45pm, but a spokesman for the Fire Service could not yet confirm if the fire was caused by fireworks.
A local who lives nearby, however, took photos and a video of the hedge fire on Parata St.

He said a man was letting off fireworks when his hedge caught fire.
