    Fire crews and drones will remain on Christchurch's Port Hills overnight to keep fire hotspots under control

    Fire crews and drones will remain on Christchurch's Port Hills overnight to keep fire hotspots under control


    100 firefighters and 20 support personnel have been working alongside five helicopters and heavy machinery today to extinguish flare-ups.

    Incident Commander Steve Kennedy says the dampening down and the creation and widening of fire breaks have proven themselves against the stronger winds.

    Kennedy says they're expecting a southerly wind change this evening which will assist crews with cooling the land.

    It'll also help their infrared cameras to identify anymore hot spots
