FENZ says there have been as many as 30 fireworks-caused fires throughout the country since sales began on Sunday. Incidents include a house fire overnight in the south of Auckland; and on Monday night firefighters and police being shot at with fireworks in Dunedin's student area. FENZ says conditions in a lot of the country are windy and dry, meaning fires could spread quickly. It is warning people to check conditions before lighting up - and for those in rural areas to ensure burnouts are totally out. Adrian Nacey is a national manager at FENZ.
