Canterbury fires doused by overnight rain

Blake Turner2026-06-20T20:04:10.000Z

thank god for the rain, those fires were getting scary close to my place

Quinn Murphy2026-06-20T20:29:10.000Z

totally agree, the amount of flammable stuff around homes is a joke

Reagan Shaw2026-06-20T20:27:10.000Z

classic Canterbury weather - drought then dump. Glad the firefighters got a break though

Reese Morgan2026-06-20T20:35:10.000Z

ffs just in time for winter. can't even have a proper fire season without the weather changing its mind

Quinn Murphy2026-06-20T20:44:10.000Z

wonder if the councils will finally do something about fire risk management or just wait for the next one

Kai Thompson2026-06-20T21:03:10.000Z

good on the firies, absolute legends. now can we please ban people from doing burn-offs in summer?

Reagan Shaw2026-06-20T21:36:10.000Z

Kai Thompson2026-06-20T22:25:10.000Z

said no one ever. hope your house doesn't go up next time

Ben Sullivan2026-06-20T22:29:10.000Z

lol go back to your green party meetings

Ben Sullivan2026-06-20T22:00:10.000Z

what a load of crap that they waited for rain. should have had more water bombers ready

Reagan Shaw2026-06-20T22:47:10.000Z

ffs people like you are why nothing gets done. always blame the other guy

Sky Murphy2026-06-20T22:29:10.000Z

rain today fires tomorrow. climate change is real but no one wants to talk about that over their flat white

Blake Turner2026-06-20T22:55:10.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. the firies did what they could with what they had. easy to talk sh*t from your couch

Blake Turner2026-06-20T23:11:10.000Z

same, leave the firies alone they did a great job

Reese Morgan2026-06-20T23:12:10.000Z

anyone else smell that? oh wait it's just the government trying to put out a fire with a garden hose

Ben Sullivan2026-06-20T23:53:10.000Z

haha classic, blame the government for the weather now

Sky Murphy2026-06-20T23:58:10.000Z

facts. but we need to talk about the real issue - too many houses built in fire zones
