    Helicopters have been brought in to battle a seven hectare blaze near Kingston, south of Queenstown


    Ground crews were called around two this morning but can't reach the fire in the hills.

    A fire and emergency spokesman says one helicopter is attacking the fire while the other is transporting firefighters in.

    He says the fire isn't yet under control but there have luckily been low winds so far.
