Firefighters are continuing to battle hot spots on Matakana Island near Tauranga.
A massive vegetation fire broke out on Saturday - it's since been contained to a perimeter.
Incident Controller Jeff Maunder says drone technology has been extremely useful in fighting the fire as it eliminates guess work around where the hot spots are.
He told Tim Dower this fire could be just the beginning.
Maunder says it's expected to be a hot and dry summer which makes fires more likely.
