The fire grew overnight, a neighbour says

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A fire spanning hectares across north Waikato swampland is still burning, with six helicopters with moonsoon buckets and ground crews fighting it.

It's off Island Block Rd, near Meremere. Neighbouring property owner Rebecca Ellis-Wilson noticed the fire just after midday on Monday and said crews had been out fighting the flames ever since.
