Aerial footage from a large scrub fire in Tiwai Point shows the fire is nearly under control - and how close it came to the aluminium smelter there.
The footage shows blackened land right up to the perimeter of the smelter site and close to electricity pylons.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson says the fire is relatively contained and is now a low threat to power lines.
Fire crews and helicopters battled the blaze throughout the night and today.
