Firefighters were called to the weighbridge alongside State Highway 2 at Ormond this morning after tyres on the trailer of a loaded log truck caught fire. Fire and Emergency NZ received 1-1-1 calls about it at around 8.30am. “The fire from the burning tyres had started to get into the log load when we arrived,” a senior firefighter said. “We attacked the fire with foam and while we had it out pretty quickly it took a while to cool down the damaged wheel assemblies.” The logs were offloaded on to another truck and the damaged trailer was transported to Gisborne. “It’s believed the cause was linked to the truck’s braking system.” Picture by Liam Clayton

England ensured they didn’t have any more hiccups in erasing the remaining 36 required on the last day after Sri Lanka had set up a tricky 74-run target on a turning wicket. England had slumped to 14-34 late on the fourth evening before Bairstow and Lawrence combined to usher the tourists to 76-3. Bairstow remained unbeaten on 35 off FINALISTS: The Horouta J16 women’s team Puhi Kaimoana were fourth in the W6 500m final at the waka ama sprint nationals 65 balls and Lawrence, who hit a gritty at Lake Karapiro yesterday.
