News Story

Flames swept through the shelter shed/grandstand at the netball and tennis courts at Windmill Road Park in Mt Eden this afternoon. The 25 meter-long wooden structure was well alight when firefighters arrived and they transmitted a second alarm call for assistance. The building was gutted, but is left standing. Firefighters made a good save of the adjoining two-storeyed clubrooms and changing facilities, cutting off the flames as they were driven towards the building by a stiff breeze. Fire investigators and detectives were called in to try to find the cause of the blaze. Our members closed Windmill Road and provided scene protection. Our brigade has also attended 3 motor vehicle accidents today... in Orakei, Glenfield and Takanini.
