Multiple scrub fires in Omokoroa kept fire fighters busy this afternoon after calls from train drivers came through saying there were multiple fires along the side of the railway lines.
Omokoroa volunteer fire brigade responded to the first call at around 2.30pm, after arriving they requested crews from Tauranga and Greerton to attend.
Fires were located between Goldstone Road and Lynley Park Drive also at Prole Road.
Fire crews managed to get the fires under control without them spreading to nearby homes.
