A large scrub fire in Kawerau burning since the early hours of this morning has been contained.
Firefighters were notified of the scrub blaze, that was about 300m by 300m, near Tamarangi Drive, about 3.45am.
A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said four forestry and rural fire crews had worked
at the scene all morning and were now putting out hot spots.
The fire had been contained, he said.
He said it was likely crews would remain there until dark to ensure the fire was completely put out.
