Brave builders spring into action to save home from Port Hills fire

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

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.
