Two Fire NZ crews will be at the scene overnight to monitor the fires. Drones will be flying over the area tonight to map any hotspots.
Tomorrow morning Fire NZ crews will be returning to the fire ground and continue to secure the fire perimeter and identify any potential hazards and manage any specific hot spots that may arise.
