Omarama volunteer firefighters quickly extinguished an 80sqm grass fire burning early this morning.
Two appliances and a water tanker were sent to the 20m-long fire, beside the Omarama-Otematata Rd (State Highway 83) near Omarama, after
firefighters were alerted at 3.13am, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said.
Police had been notified routinely, but the fire was not viewed as suspicious, a police spokeswoman said.
