 Residents Flee Happy Valley Scrub Fire

A large scrub fire in Wellington almost burnt 30 houses down in Happy Valley. Seventy residents had to leave their houses and sleep at an emergency shelter at Happy Valley School. The large scrub fire happened Thursday morning at about 2am. The fire service assistant Brett Lockyer said they are still investigating on how the fire started. They know that someone had started the fire on purpose. I think that who ever started the fire should get punished hard. I hope that they find the person who did it. It won’t be a very Happy Valley anymore.
