Christchurch fire

Firefighters battling big blaze near Canterbury University. A fire at a heritage two-storey homestead, in the Christchurch suburb of Riccarton, is being treated ...

“It was beautiful but even back then it wasn’t in great condition. There's a relentless stench haunting our lives. Our much-needed new stadium is opening on the First-of-Never. Fire crews continued to dampen hot spots at the property on Saturday. The building has been abandoned for like 20 years so it has a lot of mould in the property. She only rented out to post-graduate students because she didn’t want any young ones having parties,” he said. “The inside was quite nice. Our ever-changing region has many exigent stories to tell. We had a digger on site to make it safe,” he said. It wasn’t just about the cost of fixing it. I wouldn’t want to have my family home full of mould. There’s nothing left on site to look at.
