A fire investigator has been called in after a golf cart caught fire in Westshore, setting several others alight on Wednesday evening.
Napier senior station officer Jamie Nichol said a golf cart caught fire while charging outside a property along The Esplanade about 7.55pm.
Nichol said this reportedly “set fire to about four or five other golf carts” nearby by the time firefighters arrived.
He said firefighters did not believe the incident was suspicious, but a fire investigator was attending the scene on Thursday to confirm the cause.
A few hours later, firefighters from Hastings and Napier battled a fire that caused significant damage to the kitchen of a Flaxmere property.
