    Fire crews have put out the large scrub fire in Silverdale, north of Auckland, which closed the Hibiscus Coast Highway


    Crews were called to the fire shortly after 1:45 this afternoon, with reports of a fire ripping through a 200-by-30-metre area of grass next to the motorway.

    No injuries were reported.

    A local medical centre was closed because of smoke from the fire being a health risk to patients.
