Firefighters expected to take a week to tackle Canterbury fire

Firefighters expect to take a week to tackle the massive fire which has torn through almost a thousand hectares of scrub in Canterbury's high country. The fire has destroyed a wilderness hut near the peak of Bridge Hill, but the community of Castle Hill is unscathed. Nine helicopters, three planes and almost 100 firefighters have today been involved in the effort to bring the blaze under control. Fire and Emergency said they've made good progress containing and controlling the fire and are working to establish containment lines around the perimeter.Timothy Brown has more.
