UPDATED 4PM: A fire on Wellington's Mount Victoria has been put out.

Eleven fire appliances converged on the area between the Mount Victoria and Haitaitai tunnels, after heavy smoke was seen coming from pine trees.

Radio Sport reporter Adam Cooper is at the cricket at the Basin Reserve, and said there was a lot of smoke, and sirens followed.

"You can easily see Mount Victoria from where we are. So, everyone here was a little bit worried to start with. But I think, by the looks of things, it is not as big as originally feared...Certainly a lot of people keeping an eye on it anyway."
