Firefighters are battling a scrub fire near the Whanganui River mouth, that is visible across much of the city.
It comes after a day in which firefighters have battled a bushfire that sent up clouds of smoke on Auckland’s Mt Wellington maunga, and as buildings burned in a busy Onehunga street.
Emergency services were called to the South Mole at Whanganui’s port at 8pm Sunday evening.
Fire and Emergency said it had reached across an area about 500 by 200 meters
Two rural fire crews were working at the blaze, and a third was on the way.
There was no reports of property damage.
