Summer is fire 🔥 season in New Zealand. Wildfires, like the one that continues to affect the Port Hills area, burn through 1000s of acres of the country every year. Do you know how they form and what keeps them going? In our latest video, we investigate the why behind the wildfire with the The New Zealand Fire Service and discuss the weather’s role.
