27 September 2020
Fire crews were sent at 10:40 this morning to battle the blaze -- which was caused by falling powerlines in bad weather.
The fire was burning in vegetation along a river before it was extinguished.
Two properties were threatened -- however neither was damaged and there have been no injuries
Police say access in and out of Mahia is limited -- as the Nuhaka-Opoutama Road is blocked.
