Emergency update from Selwyn District Council
Tai Tapu/Port Hills fires – update 10.30pm
Two fires are continuing to burn tonight in the Tai Tapu/Port Hills area – one in the vicinity of Early Valley Road/Lansdowne, and the other in the Marley Hill area near the Summit Road. The evacuation of homes in the Early Valley Road area remains in place overnight, with the Tai Tapu School available for those evacuated. Road closures are in place on Early Valley Road, Holmes Road and the Summit Road from Dyers Pass Road to Gebbies Pass Road. Fire crews will remain in place overnight to patrol the affected areas, and multiple helicopters are expected to be in action from around first light tomorrow (Tuesday). Please stay well away from the area and off the roads – so that emergency services personnel can do their job and keep people safe. Thanks. www.facebook.com...
