Reports of fireworks let off on Mauao at Mount Maunganui last night have sparked a warning from firefighters called to the scene.
Mount Maunganui fire station officer Paul van Kol said they received a couple of calls of concern that someone was letting fireworks off on Mauao, including a call
from a woman who was filming it then thought better of it.
''We called police and we got the surf club involved. They helped us to get to the top,'' Mr van Kol said.
''We got there and there was no sign of fire or fireworks. We couldn't find any evidence.''
The incident sparked upset on social media, with people heavily criticising the people responsible.
