Exactly what caused a huge bush fire in Northland is still being investigated.
Several fire crews and two helicopters were needed when a blaze broke out on Marlin Drive, in Taupo Bay, shortly before 7pm yesterday.
A spokesman for the Fire Service said this morning the fire was brought under control a few hours later and crews left the site about 10pm.
However, the cause has still not been established, he said.
A police spokeswoman said fire investigators were still working to determine the circumstances of the blaze and would be passing on information to them when those details were known.
