Crews have wrapped up their battle with a vegetation fire in rural Hunterville.

The fire was discovered at a remote location along Turakina Valley Rd around 2.15 pm on Tuesday.

Crews from Marton and Hunterville as well as four helicopters fought the 30ha fire throughout Tuesday afternoon.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand communications shift manager Murray Dunbar said crews were returning to the site on Wednesday morning to ensure all hot spots were put out.

Two helicopters were assisting on Wednesday morning but were stood down around lunchtime.
