About 700 residents were evacuated from a New Zealand town on Friday as a forest fire threatened the area. Civil defence authorities decided to evacuate parts of Wakefield on the South Island. Authorities opened up a sports stadium as a welfare centre and said they could accommodate people who didn’t have friends or family to stay with elsewhere.
