Firefighters will return to the scene of a scrub fire on Auckland’s North Shore this morning, after it burned last night.

Crews were called to Kauri Point in Chatswood shortly after midnight.

The fire was 600m from where trucks could reach, so firefighters walked with hoses to put out
the blaze, Fire and Emergency said.

It was extinguished, but crews will return to the site to check for hotspots this morning.

The fire did not appear to threaten any properties, said Fire and Emergency.
