Residents have been told to prepare for evacuation as winds fan a vegetation fire near Clyde.<\/p>\n
Crews from Clyde, Alexandra, Dunstan and Tarras\u00a0were called to a property near the intersection of Springvale and McArthur Rds about 1pm, following reports of a grass fire, a Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said.<\/p>\n
The Alexandra crew had since returned to the station.<\/p>\n
“When they got there, they had a grass fire that was basically out, but it was into some pine trees,” the spokesman said.<\/p>\n
“So they had crews go in from different directions of it to cut it off and to protect any structures that were close by.”<\/p>\n
People had been told to prepare for evacuation, but it was unclear if an order to leave had been given, he said.<\/p>\n
Although fanned by wind, the fire was contained and crews were working to extinguish it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Residents have been told to prepare for evacuation as winds fan a vegetation fire near Clyde.
