Firefighters say they have contained a diesel spill in Green Island.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said they were called the spill, off Main South Rd, late this morning.
A spokesman at the scene said about 300 litres had spilled from a tank which holds 1500 litres.
He said it had been bunded and prevented from going into the nearby Kaikorai Stream.
