Port Hills Fire Media Update #2
Saturday 25 February – 3.40pm

Cordon access – residents only
Firefighting operations will continue on the Port Hills until the incident management team is confident the fire is fully extinguished. The area is still an active fire zone.
While cordons at Worsleys Road, Kennedys Bush Road, Hoon Hay Valley Road and Dyers Pass Road have been relaxed, this is for residents only. There is still no access for members of the public.
Civil Defence Controller Malcolm Johnston says, “We’re appealing to the public to resist the temptation to come up for a look. Residents in these areas do not want rubberneckers, this includes mountain bikers and runners.
“There is also a significant safety issue, it is simply not safe for the general public to enter.”
There are still many areas of the city where people can safely cycle, walk or walk their dogs. View the current status of walking tracks and cycling tracks.
