Firefighters have extinguished a chemical fire outside a packhouse and orchard in Hastings.
The hazardous substances unit was called after 20kg of copper based fungicide was found near the pallets.
The chemical, believed to be used as a fertiliser, was extinguished and was put into barrels and taken away, Mr Dalton said.
Aha, I can just see orchardists using a fungicide as a fertiliser ... really sensible.
