There has been a large chemical spill in Christchurch this morning, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson says.
Crews were called to a commercial building on McAlpine St, Wigram, about 4.20am and they’re working to “neutralise” the spill, the spokesperson said.
No one has been hurt but there are
road closures and people should avoid the area, they said.
It’s not immediately clear which roads have been closed, but police have been contacted to confirm those details.
