Fire and Emergency New Zealand hopes to hand back the site of a large vegetation fire at Tokarahi, Waitaki to the landowner tomorrow.
“Our four crews and two helicopters did a fantastic job today checking for hot spots, ” Fire and Emergency Incident Commander Bobby Lamont says.
“The work was arduous but the fireground is now very well contained and controlled.
We’ll leave a couple of people monitoring the fireground overnight and reassess the situation in the morning,” he says.
“All going well, we anticipate leaving the fireground tomorrow.”
