"Some people said it was just a grass fire, some said it was a transformer on fire but on arrival, we found 12-15 cars on fire in a car wrecker's yard", said Fire and Emergency NZ northern shift manager Carren Larking, adding that the calls about the explosion came at around 1:06 A.M. local time (1:06 PM Wednesday, GMT).
