A front end loader helps firefighters tackle a fire in a pile of woodchips in Kaikorai Valley Rd opposite Short St yesterday morning.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said crews from Roslyn and Lookout Point were called to the fire about 6.20am.

When they arrived they found a fire about 5m by 5m and helped extinguish it.

By 7.20am, the all-clear had been given and the scene was left in the hands of the contractor with a digger.

The cause of the fire was unclear, the spokesman said.
