A fire at Auckland’s Fairy Falls Track, caused by embers from an improperly extinguished campfire, destroyed a platform, 80 meters of stairs, and a bridge in November 2025.
The track, which had reopened in September after a six-year closure for kauri dieback remediation and a $1.6 million upgrade, remains closed for cleanup and assessment.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand and park rangers are removing hazardous debris, including metal fragments, with the damaged bridge to be airlifted out.
