    Firefighters and two helicopters are continuing to work on dampening down a 30 hectare vegetation fire - next to State Highway 1 near Burnham, Canterbury

    Firefighters and two helicopters are continuing to work on dampening down a 30 hectare vegetation fire - next to State Highway 1 near Burnham, Canterbury


    Evacuated residents have been allowed to return home.

    Preliminary findings indicate the fire is linked to a vehicle that had a tyre blow-out, but that won't be confirmed until the investigation's complete.

    Crews will be patrolling the scene overnight to deal with flare-ups.

    The fire size hasn't changed - estimated to have burned around 30 hectares.
