A Fire and Emergency spokeswoman said one crew was in attendance and multiple crews are on the way.
“Obviously, it is still moving and we’re in attendance at the moment trying to extinguish it and get it under control,” she said.
The Whanganui Brigade has dispatched three pumps and two tankers to the incident.
The vegetation fire is close to State Highway 4 and traffic management is currently in place.
