Forum businesses 'rise from the ashes' a year after fire

Fire engulfed the Forum building in Blenheim’s CBD on Waitangi Day last year.
A year after the devastating fire which tore through the Forum building in Blenheim's CBD on Waitangi Day, most of those affected have “risen from the ashes” and are doing better than ever.
Building owner Toni Gillan this week praised the tenants and others involved in the long recovery.
“This was probably one of the biggest fires in the CBD in a long time, and the costs are probably close to $1.5 million,” she said.
“The tenants have been amazing. They’ve had to put up with so much. They had a fire, then they had Covid, and then because of Covid we weren’t able to get in there and remediate as quick as we could have.”
