A fire extending practically from Horopito to Raetihi, fanned by the gale, spread as far as Taihape and Mangaweka, devastating the country.

Hundreds of Raetihi residents fled to the river and spent the night sheltering under the bridge. Thousands of sheep and cattle were lost, and homesteads burned.
