Wildfires

Wildfires - New Zealand

One house and outbuildings were destroyed in wild fire west of Christchurch. Five homes – three in Coalgate in the Malvern Hills west of Christchurch and two near Mt Somers – were saved by firefighters on Thursday after wind-fuelled fires ripped across rural Canterbury.

Firefighting resources were spread thin as fire crews were fighting more than 30 separate fires in the area.
