Fire and emergency said three helicopters were responding and three fire trucks and crews were already on the ground.
A spokesperson said the fires are south east of the devastating blaze that took hold in the area last month.
They said the current fires are closer to Mount Ngauruhoe with one about 30 by 200 metres squared.
