A grass embankment at Bayfair Shopping Centre caught fire this afternoon, endangering four vehicles.
A Fire and Emergency northern communications spokeswoman said firefighters were called to a small grass fire at the shopping centre in Mount Maunganui just before 3.30pm.
About 20m of a grass embankment in the "new part"
of the shopping centre had caught fire.
Four vehicles parked next to where the fire had broken out were in danger but had since been moved from the scene, the spokeswoman said.
The Mount Maunganui Fire Brigade was called to the scene and had since extinguished the blaze.
