A risky combination of Guy Fawkes, warm, dry conditions and wind have firefighters issuing warnings to the public.
There is no shortage of combustible scrub in the region, even in green vegetation and areas where there were fires last summer, Northern Rural Fire Authority principal rural fire officer Myles Taylor said.
Fireworks may not have had anything to do with a fire that razed a house near Pawarenga, 22km southeast of Broadwood on Saturday night. No one was in the remote Warawara Forest Rd house which was destroyed before crews from Ahipara, Kaitaia, Kohukohu and the Broadwood Rural Fire Party arrived.
The alarm was raised about 10.20pm, and safety inspectors are investigating the cause of the fire.
However, other call-outs in Northland over the weekend were associated with Guy Fawkes.
