Bay of Plenty fire brigades attended several fireworks-related calls last night including a large vegetation fire caused by a skyrocket at Pāpāmoa Beach.
The Pāpāmoa Volunteer Fire Brigade was called to the fire at the reserve opposite Gibson Place at 7.17pm.
Pāpāmoa chief fire officer Allan Bicker said the brigade only had one fireworks related call last night.
"Because of the size of the fire, 30 sq m, and its location which was both sides of the drainage reserve we had to attack it from two different angles," Bicker said.
"It took about an hour to put the blaze and we had to call for extra manpower to do so,"
