Firefighters spent more than an hour battling a suspicious fire in Christchurch last night.
A crew from the Redwood Fire Station was called to the blaze on Jones Rd in Northwood about 11.50pm on Monday.
Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman Daniel Reilly said a number of flax bushes were on fire when the crew arrived.
"The fire is suspicious and the details have been passed on to police," he said.
