Trees on fire, Hamurana Road, Ngongotaha. 5th June 2008, 3.09am.
Didn't get on the truck so stayed at the station as backup. Weird call, when the truck got there, they extinguished the fire and found a dead body on the side of the road. Was a local 61yr old resident, who had tried to fight the fire with a hose pipe and unfortunatly died of a heart attack.
Our sympathies go out to his family and friends.
The fire was just a small bush fire caused by hot embers from a log fire.
