Firefighters are continuing to battle a scrub fire in Canterbury's Selwyn district.
Crews have been at the blaze near the town of Sheffield for almost two days, although it is now contained.
A fire investigator is working to determine the cause.
It's one of about a dozen scrub fires that broke out across the district over the weekend.
Police say they are continuing to investigate several suspicious fires that broke out around Darfield and Rolleston early Sunday morning.
