Save Christchurch fire crews are battling a large fire at a recycling yard today.
Emergency services were called to the blaze at Hornby's Southern Demolition Recycling Yard about 2am.
Southern fire communications shift manager Andrew Norris said a "massive" pile of custom board was alight.
"Southern Demolition has now got large
diggers on site and they're breaking the heap down into smaller piles so we can extinguish it.
"We anticipate we going to be there for the next few hours."
