The blaze destroyed the interior of two of the four residential units and caused extensive heat and smoke damage in the other two. An estimated 16 people lived in the units and now have to find somewhere else to live. Police detectives and a specialist fire investigator probed the fire scene yesterday to establish the cause. “It started in a bedroom in one of the ground floor units,” said Detective Sergeant John Love. “There was nothing suspicious about it. It started accidentally. “But we have linked the cause to heat from a small hydroponic cannabis-growing operation we found in a downstairs bedroom.” A 34-year-old man who lived in that unit, along with three other people, has been arrested and charged with cultivating cannabis. “He will appear in the Gisborne District Court next week,” Det Sgt Love said. “People carrying out that sort of cannabis production need to be aware of what can go wrong. “In this case the outcome could have been even more disastrous for the other people living in that housing unit complex.” All those living in the complex got out safely but lost almost everything they owned, as well as their homes.

The former American Samoa heavyweight champion, who has been fighting for Samoa since last year, was scheduled to face Le’apai on September 7 at the Faleata Sports Complex in Apia. The fight was scheduled for 8 rounds, and it was one of the four undercards for the main event of the evening between Jai Opetaia and Daniel Amman, both from Australia. After he won his fight against one of Samoa’s top heavyweight contenders, Tino Honey in December of last year in an unanimous decision, the “Heat Man” continued on with his training to await who would be his next opponent. It was June of this year when A’asa’s management confirmed to him that Le’apai would be his next opponent. “I was looking forward to this fight and I considered it as the big fight of my life. I trained hard and put up everything I have for this fight, knowing that Le’apai is one of the best and hard punchers in the heavyweight division. I know I’m not perfect and I have some weaknesses in and out of the ring but I put everything behind me in order for me to win this fight.
