Fire crews would struggle to access water to fight blazes after a large earthquake in Wellington.
They would be stopped from using the city's reservoirs because they would be needed for drinking water.
A new GNS report released to RNZ has found there would be a significant risk of fire in the capital post-earthquake, because of its strong winds, steep slopes and old infrastructure.
Max Towle from the RNZ In Depth team has this story.
