Busy night for fire fighters

Posted by Cameron Avery on Sunday, April 7 at 10:50 am


Fire fighters were busy last night after attending six call outs in the Tauranga area.

At 7.30pm Greerton fire fighters were called to a tree fire on Welcome Bay Road after kids reportedly lit the tree on fire the kids got talked to by the fire crew and warned about the consequences of lighting fires.

Later at around 9pm Greerton fire fighters were called out to a car fire on Summer Haven Place in Ohauiti, at the same time Tauranga, Greerton, and Mount Maunganui fire fighters were called to a chimney fire on Windermere Drive.

At around 9.25pm Greerton fire fighters left the car fire to attend at tree fire on Maungatapu Road which was believed to be suspicious.

At 9.40pm Greerton fire fighters were called again to Windermere for another suspicious fire, then from that call they were called to Tauriko for a suspicious fire.

Fire fighters attended nine call outs in total yesterday in the Tauranga area.

This shows as a reminder that there is still a fire ban in place.
