    Fire crews in Waimate, Canterbury are battling a scrub fire that's threatening a pine forest


    Fire and Emergency shift manager Simon Lyford says they were notified of the fire on Parkers Bush Road just before 6 this evening.

    Mr Lyford says crews on the ground are unable to access the fire by road so four helicopters have been called.
