Firefighters are unhappy with the high number of nuisance fires being lit throughout Hawke's Bay.
A Hawke's Bay-based Fire and Emergency spokeswoman said they were asking for the community to hold off with unnecessary burn offs, rubbish fires, and garden waste fires.
"Help us to keep you and our firefighters safe during the lockdown," she said.
