Ōtaki truck fire being treated as suspicious
A truck fire that damaged air conditioning units on their way to help in Wellington Hospital’s Covid-19 battle is being treated as suspicious.
The fire broke out shortly before midnight on Sunday in a truck parked on State Highway 1 in Ōtaki.
Ōtaki Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Ian King confirmed the fire was being treated as suspicious.
The truck driver had parked up about 7pm and checked into a motel. The fire did not start until almost five hours later.
It is understood the units would have allowed the hospital to have more negative pressure rooms – in which the air pressure is lowered, meaning the virus is less likely to escape into the wider hospital.
