Seventeen neighbouring properties had to be evacuated – five of which caught fire while the others were hit by flying debris. Her husband Paddy said the occupants had been having issues with their gas fire in recent days and had been awaiting repairs, although it was unclear if those had taken place.Local resident Brad Culver told Television New Zealand he thought at first a plane had crashed and ran outside.
