A massive wildfire was last night raging in the hills above Ahipara forcing the evacuation of multiple homes just hours before a total fire ban was due to come into force across Northland.
The alarm
was raised about 5.45pm yesterday with the Ahipara and Kaitaia brigades the first to respond, backed up by four helicopters using monsoon buckets.

The fire was in the Gumfields Historic Reserve immediately above the west coast settlement which is currently packed with holidaymakers.
