Yeah nah, the wind at Titahi Bay is no joke. Mate of mine lost half his roof last year. Council does nothing about the fire risk either. Typical.
Exactly! People don't realise how fast these things spread. Stay safe out there.
Probably someone's dumb heater or candle. Always happens in winter. Hope the idiots got insurance.
stuffed with that attitude. It's windy as down here, nothing to do with being a dummy.
This is so scary! Glad everyone got out okay but imagine losing everything in a fire right before winter solstice :(
lol cope. Bet ur one of those 'she'll be right' types who never cleans the lint filter.

Been saying for years we need more firebreaks and better hydrants in these new subdivisions. But nah, council spends all the money on bike lanes.
right. Council's useless. They'll be out with a press release tomorrow 'thoughts and prayers'
ffs, another fire? My neighbours had one last month coz of a dodgy dryer. Check your appliances ppl.
same, been checking ours twice a day since the last fire. Not worth the risk.
Awful news. We're just down the road, the whole community is shaken. If anyone needs a place to stay, DM me mate.
what a load of shit, insurance companies will find a way to screw them over too. Seen it happen.
nah, insurance is a scam. My mate is still fighting for his claim from the 2023 floods. Good luck to them.
