Northland crews have been working to contain three scrub fires across the region.
A blaze west of Dargaville broke out on Friday and has burned through 15 hectares.
Fire-fighters are extending the fire break line to prevent it spreading.
Further north, three fire trucks, a water tanker and a helicopter are being used to contain a scrub fire at Ahipara.
The one-hectare blaze is on the side of a hill at the Kaitaia-Awaroa Road.
East of Kaitaia, at Hihi, fire crews have also extinguished a vegetation blaze.
