Hamilton woman Katrina Whitburn wasn't taking any chances when it came to a large vegetation fire in the Coromandel. KATRINA WHITBURN / SUPPLIED A massive vegetation fire in Colville is likely to have been started by fireworks. "There is a big massive macrocarpa tree that was the first thing to go up. "I am just waiting for the fire investigator but I have walked the perimeter and I strongly believe it's been started by fireworks which is really disappointing. "The ground crews are just working their way in from the perimeter dampening down any hotspots.
