Video / ODTThree youths might have some explaining to do after CCTV footage emerged of them taking selfies as they walked away from a forestry block on fire in Wingatui, on the outskirts of Dunedin. The fire in Friends Hill Rd drew a substantial response as eight firefighting crews, from Waihola to Waikouaiti, were called to the scene about 10.30pm on Thursday. For a moment he thought it might have been people with torches in the forestry block. Only later did he realise the farmstay's CCTV had captured footage of three young people, two females and a male, entering the property. John Nelson holds an empty can found at the site of a fire on his Wingatui property.
