Drone footage captured this morning shows the huge cloud of smoke coming out of a fire at the Ravensdown fertiliser plant in Hornby, Christchurch.
The fire was reported this morning, and burned through a large portion of the facility.
A large trail of smoke was released, and Fire and Emergency New Zealand has asked people to close doors and windows if they are nearby, and to avoid the smoke if possible.
Firefighters are currently bringing the fire under control and there were no injuries.
