Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.

Spare or unused ride on parts.

Roger from Silverdale

Hi neighbors.

I'm urgently looking for any spare ride on mower parts or even complete old unused ride on's to pick parts off of,specifically, John Deere D105 or any 100 series mowers.

If anyone can assist, it would be greatly appreciated.

Happy New Year to all.
Regards.
Roger.

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
