Fire crews have extinguished a blaze on Auckland’s Māngere Mountain.
It comes after another scrub fire on Saturday night destroyed three hectares of vegetation and took several hours to put out.
The second fire broke out about 3.15pm, but Fire and Emergency said it had now been extinguished.
A spokesperson earlier said the blaze was burning through a grass area measuring 30 square metres.
Three fire trucks were at the scene.
Overnight, 19 crews fought the fire that broke out Saturday just before 9.30pm.
