Firefighters can't reach a fire burning in the hills west of Kingston, south of Queenstown.
A fire and emergency spokesman says the fire is about halfway between Kingston and Garston and crews were called around 2am.
Three crews responded but have been unable to reach the fire which is around
six hectares large.
Two helicopters will go out at first light.
