Summary
A major fire tore through Waitaki Boys High School, sending trees ablaze and prompting a police investigation into possible arson. Two 13-year-old boys have been referred to Youth Aid for their suspected involvement, with authorities withholding details on the cause. Fire crews battled the blaze for hours using four trucks and full breathing gear—no injuries occurred, and main school buildings escaped major damage. Students were evacuated per protocol, and both boys have been suspended. The investigation continues as officials work to prevent future tragedies.
