News - 18,000 chickens die in fire -- The Press article



Ambrosia Nurseries worker Rory Ferguson said he had just gone on a break when he saw smoke coming from the other side of Selwyn Rd and then saw the fire "jump" the road towards the nursery.
"As soon as we saw the fire we ran and grabbed as many hoses as we could but the water pressure had gone."
Fellow nursery worker Esther Campfens said some of the employees "smelt it before we saw it".
"We thought someone was an idiot lighting a fire in this weather. We thought it was someone burning off."
As the blaze spread it engulfed the hedge-line next to the nursery, as well as a tunnel house and barn.
