Fire and Emergency is reminding Aucklanders to be vigilant following the beginning of open fire season, Stuff reports.

Recent rainfall has helped to loosen restrictions, and cooler temperatures and humidity have also helped to decrease the likelihood of fire. However, the populated Hauraki Gulf islands have gone into a restricted season.
