MARTIN DE RUYTER Tim King injured his leg when he jumped from the roof of his family's Eves Valley house. Fellow Eves Valley residents Maureen Kelling and Alan Walker were also impressed with the efforts of the firefighters, many of whom were volunteers. "It's absolutely fabulous," Kelling said from the old Eves Valley Rd where she went to check on their cattle. The animals appeared unaffected by a constant stream of helicopters filling up monsoon buckets near the Eves Valley sawmill. Martin de Ruyter / Stuff Helicopters with monsoon buckets in Eves Valley are fighting the fire in Nelson-Tasman.
