Two boats went up in flames at 1.20am.

At the height of the response, five fire trucks and three support vehicles were fighting the blaze, with crews from Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Greerton stations attending.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said crews were in attendance until 7.15am but have now left.

“An investigator is now on the scene.”

Fire crews were first alerted to the fire at 1.20am.

“Because the boat was put in a secure yard, police weren’t required to have a scene guard in place overnight,” the spokesperson said.

Until the Fire and Emergency New Zealand investigator completed their investigation, police could not confirm whether the fire was suspicious.

Hato Hone St John was notified of the incident but not required, a spokesperson confirmed.
