    The weather's are not expected to help fire fighting efforts near Nelson

    The weather's are not expected to help fire fighting efforts near Nelson


    People are being evacuated after a new fire erupted this afternoon near Moutere Highway - just east of Redwood Valley.

    MetService meteorologist Robb Kerr says rain isn't likely for the next five days.

    He says the wind isn't likely to offer any relief, either.

    Kerr says the winds are looking to pick up later this evening - meaning fires are likely to spread quickly.
