Was hoping the whole smelly titahi bay burnt down

[SneezingZombiePanda]

Haha, I live near the fire station and when the siren rang off and hurt my ears, oh and uh you spelt titahi wrong. you spelt it 'tetahi'

[Aaendewyy]

Ohh woow

[gismo101]

[Crabv1]

lol not like we're losing anything worth keeping.

[theinfamouscamXXII]

@Crabv1

You're right; no houses were damaged.

[bobdarubaduck]

i could smell the smoke from seatoun!!!

[theinfamouscamXXII]

I spent the whole of yesterday watching from my deck in Ascot Park. There was smoke as far as the eye could see.

[HuttValleyMan]

Much bigger than the one in the Hutt Valley 2 weeks ago

[mumidugahole]

thats right,it creates a nursery for natives to re-generate.

[rooda4]

nothin like a good fire to fill in a Sunday

[BROYSTONG]

apparetly the fire alarm went off again a few mins ago for volenteers to go back to the fire station

[keaneas115]

good riddance to the gorse on the bay hills.. hope my cuzzie ok over the hill in moult street.....baygirls 4eva

[lrwpb]

if you just leave an area of gorse it turns into an area of native bush,which is what was happening on the hills

[keaneas115]

apologies, I thought if you left an area of gorse each season its seeds would spread across neighbouring hillside. I am sure there is still plenty of gorse in Plimmerton. Paremata, Porirua, Tawa, Johnsonville..........

theres gold in them there hills.......

FLOWERING GORSE

[hudiscapidicus]

No, it turns into a fire hazard, they were clearing the gorse and replanting native bush, which also doesn't burn very well. Thats why there are still pockets of green in the valley.

[Connorb9092]

apparently its still going atm, but not much

[murrymurrymurrymurry]

lol

[shionnomama]

Gosh, hope no wildlife was harmed - used to live in Aotea.

[riverdean7]

[munchafat1]

its still going at the moment .

[PianoShop]

Hope everthings ok

[htornis]

Was a lot of smoke over Tawa.

[PianoShop]

not surprised the norwester was pretty strong

[AdamPownz]

I live just across the harbour and I can see the whole thing just takin over the place

[TheOriginalFatalPig]

I was going down to whitby new world and i saw the smoke xD

[PianoShop]

TVNZ opened tonights news with this vid

[zeniths241]

it's still out of control. I can still see flames from where I live.

[PianoShop]

@zeniths241 was going for it when I shot this. Heard they were evacuating people on the other side of hill

[zeniths241]

I can see flashing lights on the streets on gloaming hill (I think, not sure what that hill is called). And I heard that they started evacuating. The flames (as far as I can see, could be the angle) seem really close to the houses.

[Funkussionist]

BBQ out of control!

[PianoShop]

@Funkussionist Looks like it, can see the source in the car park area
