Summary
A brush fire at Centre Hill in Southland is endangering two telecommunication towers. The blaze, which has consumed 80 hectares of native forest and pasture, is being addressed by emergency responders and helicopter crews. Fire and Emergency Incident Controller Hamish Angus noted that the area is currently experiencing steady rain and very strong winds, which are complicating suppression efforts. Ground teams have been unable to access the difficult terrain, and authorities plan to conduct an inquiry into the cause of the fire once weather conditions permit.
