Fire, Fire, Fire!

A fire broke out in the Mt Allen forestry just over the hill to the North-West of Mosgiel yesterday at 3.30pm. Apparently a dozen helicopters have been fighting the blaze and some people have been evacuated. Dunedin this morning was blanketed with smoke from the fire, and we could hardly see the harbor. See the links below for the news coverage.
