Four fire crews have rushed to an apparent blaze at a Christchurch plant, only to find there was “a huge amount” of steam spilling out rather than smoke.
Dave Berry, an assistant commander at Fire and Emergency New Zealand, said fire teams were called at 9.46am to reports of smokecoming from the roof of a commercial building on Carmen Rd in Hei Hei.
However, on investigation the crews discovered “a huge amount of steam but no smoke or fire”, Berry said.
“We still have a crew at the site investigating the cause of the steam,” he said.
