## Resource

Canterbury braced for wildfire chaos yesterday as multiple blazes erupted across the region, whipped up by fierce northwesterly winds and record-breaking June heat—Christchurch hit nearly 25°C. Thanks to overnight rain and calmer winds, crews are now back on the ground tackling hotspots and cleanup, but Assistant District Commander Brian Keown warns vigilance is critical: the ground is still bone dry. Major responses included 13 crews plus a helicopter at Eyrewell, 16 crews at Gebbies Valley, 18 crews with aerial support at Hawarden, and 6 crews at Emu Plain—all battling stubborn fires. While immediate danger has eased, the parched landscape means the threat isn’t over yet. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
