Pigeon Valley Fire, Tasman/Nelson, NZ
-The helicopter pilot from Sunday’s crash has been discharged from hospital
-Extinguishing hot spots remains a key task for firefighters who are still working night and day in the large fire area.
-The State of Civil Defence Emergency has been extended for a further week.

Mayor Richard Kempthorne says "The situation still requires a greater response than we could manage without all the assistance of the other agencies.
We currently still have 250 people evacuated from their homes and there are over 3500 who are in a continuous state of alert, prepared to evacuate again at short notice."
