The 2022 floods not only destroyed people's homes and livelihoods it was also destructive to the environment as water raged along breaking the banks of creeks and rivers and devastating the landscape. Before this, the unprecedented Balcksummer fires had also impacted the area scorching the hillsides.

A house on Mill Road, Huonbrook, went up in flames last Friday and thankfully no-one was injured. Police, the fire brigade and emergency services attended.

Local resident David Loiterton was taking his morning walk when he saw a house going up in flames on Mill Road, Huonbrook. 

Late Monday afternoon a winch rescue took place at Huonbrook by Westpac Rescue Helicopter following a report of a gentleman suffering a medical condition.

There are many people in the Upper Wilsons Creek, Wanganui, and Huonbrook area that are still locked in as roads vanished, having turned into waterways or landslides during the recent flood.
