Complete fire ban issued for Taupō region
The fire danger has hit extreme with a complete fire ban issued in the Taupō region just days before three scrub fires broke out.
As the days have been incredibly dry and hot Fire and Emergency NZ Taupō assistant area manager, Richard Anastasi, said the local fire brigades' concern was increasing each day.

Taupō has had around 22 straight days of sunshine with temperatures hitting the high 20s and low 30s.
