A fire investigator will try to determine why a house became filled with smoke on Wednesday evening at Rai Valley, between Nelson and Blenheim. Fire and Emergency New Zealand southern fire communications centre shift manager Brent Dunn said firefighters found the single-storey Opouri Rd home heavily smoke-logged when they arrived in response to a call-out just after 9.30pm. “There was no fire.” The smoke was believed to be caused by a battery charger, but a fire investigator was expected to inspect the home on Thursday, Dunn said.
The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter carried out a tricky rescue from a Malrborough river.
A woman was winched from rugged terrain in Marlborough after being injured during a canyoning trip. The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter flew to Doom Creek in Wakamarina, behind Canvastown, just before 4.30pm on Saturday after a personal locator beacon was activated. Pilot Colby Tyrrell said the rescue involved a technical winch job to get down to the woman. “It was at a tricky bend in the river with very steep terrain, heavily wooded and tall trees, that was inaccessible.”
