(File photo)Fire crews worked for more than an hour to control a shed fire in South Taranaki on Tuesday. Crews from Pātea and Whanganui were called to the blaze, on Kaipo St Waitōtara, around 12.40pm. It was then upgraded to a second alarm, and crews asked for more help. Miekle said he did not believe any other buildings were in danger, but the garage had welding equipment inside.
