Hey neighbours,

How's this for some typical Kiwi heroics in a time of need?

Builder Cheyenne Salter was working on a roof in Christchurch's Port Hills when he spotted flames heading towards a house on Monday.

He raced to the property and joined a group of other tradies who used buckets and a sprinkler to tackle the “tornadoes of fire” heading towards them.

At one point, Salter was in a pool filling buckets when he had to fully submerge to escape the scalding heat.

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The latest addition to The Terrace in central Christchurch may be familiar to a few.

After being closed for nearly a decade due to earthquake damage and the city's uncertain hospitality scene, Viaduct reopened at its new upstairs location on Oxford Tce alongside the Avon River in December.

The original bar was opened by Jonny Botherway in 1997 on Oxford Tce – then known as ‘The Strip' – and served as a popular after-work drinks and weekend space along with adjoining venue di lusso​, also owned by Botherway. The area is now known as The Terrace.

Have you been to the new Viaduct yet? Did you ever go to the old one?

The extraordinary chain of events began when Zayne Hinton found the cash floating beside him at Christchurch's Sumner Beach.

The 7-year-old grabbed it and while heading home, his dad, Brad Hinton, suggested they try and sell it online.

They hoped they might be able to double it with a $10 bid, but as the days went by the offers flooded in. Read more here.
