Smoke billowing from a property in Mount Maunganui sparked a fire callout yesterday evening.
Northern Fire Communications shift manager Jaron Phillips says three fire crews were called to the scene on Ocean Beach Road about 6.45pm.

Firefighters extinguished the fire just after 7pm and left the scene at 8.15pm, once they were happy there was no further danger.

Seriously captn look at the facts before pointing fingers, this was a meter box on the side of the house, meaning it's the home owners responsibility, not the power company.
