The pile of around 160,000 tyres was set alight, sending thick black smoke across the North Canterbury town.
It s the second time a pile of tyres on the Racecourse Road property has been set alight.

ECan spokesman Andrew Arps told the crowd of about 60 people the landowner was involved in the process of dealing with the pile. The site was smothered last weekend so there s no more smoke coming from the pile but it s still very hot if you get close to it so that will take a while to cool down.
