Firefighters at the scene of a fire in Christchurch s Port Hills. Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) assistant area commander Mike Bowden said scrub growth and dry conditions had compounded the problem on the Port Hills, which had already had “several reasonable-scale fires” this summer. MetService said strong winds were also forecast on Wednesday, but would start to die out on Thursday. Temperatures are expected to reach the low 20s for the rest of the week, before highs increase to the mid 20s at the weekend. The Port Hills were a “significant risk” to Christchurch and firefighters would attack any future fires “aggressively”, Bowden said.
