A 63 year-old man appeared in court yesterday in relation to the incident, facing an arson charge.
It's not the first time arsonists have targeted the site, to the dismay of the community.
Hurunui District Mayor Marie Black says she heard from many locals at a town meeting last night.
She says roughly 100 people turned up voicing concerns and asking about how long the site would continue to burn, the security of the site and the environmental impact.
