Firefighters have been at the Christchurch wastewater plant fire overnight

They were called to the blaze in Bromley yesterday afternoon.
Thick black smoke was visible around the city and the Canterbury DHB issued a public health warning.
Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman Andrew Norris says firefighters have contained the fire, but it's not out.
He says crews will be there until it's been completely extinguished and made safe to be handed back to city council staff - likely most of today.
Norris says fire staff will be meeting with council staff early this morning and working with Environment Canterbury on air monitoring.
The plant is operating at a limited capacity.
