A family at a Northland campground were forced to leave after a grass fire, believed to have started from fireworks, threatened their tent and a house minutes into the New Year.
The incident prompted Fire
and Emergency to warn Northlanders of the fire risk in tinder-dry conditions and, unlike in previous years, the organisation is seriously looking at prosecuting people who cause fires this summer.
