The material came off a hillside blocking the road at the city’s southern outskirts in the area of the 2003 wildfire.

The rocky debris was about a half-metre deep and several metres long.

No homes have been affected but the road has been partially eroded by water coming off the slope.

A fire truck was stranded on the southern side of the slide.

The road won’t be re-opened until the stability of the hill-side is assessed by geo-technical engineers and the debris cleared.
