    The blaze broke out before 6 yesterday evening on Waitara Road in Te Haroto - and is currently 22 hectares in size, including 4 hectares of DOC native bush.

    Earlier Fire and Emergency contained a forest fire burning in rural Wairarapa, which caused a number of houses to be evacuated overnight.
