Wildfires

Wildfires in New Zealand.


Firefighters battling a pine plantation blaze in Wairarapa say it is now under control.


Seven helicopters are fighting the fire about 30 kilometres south east of Masterton which started about 9.30pm last night.


No houses are at risk.


A grass and scrub fire was also burning on Whanganui River near Jerusalem; two helicopters with monsoon buckets were seen dousing it this morning.
