Firefighters battling the Port Hills fire are making the most of calm weather conditions this morning as strong winds are expected to pick up this afternoo
The fire burning on the Port Hills is now 70 per cent contained and any threats from overnight were nullified thanks to the public calling 111. Twenty-eight.
Christchurch's Adventure Park is nowhere near as damaged as it was in the 2017 fire, but it will remain closed until at least Easter for repairs once it is safe to re-enter.
More than 100 firefighters, 12 helicopters and two fixed-wing planes are racing to suppress and contain the Port Hills blaze in Christchurch as strengthening.
