Former All Black captain Richie McCaw says seeing the devastation caused by the Christchurch Port Hills Fire has been a reality check. McCaw has been flying missions since the fires broke out on Monday, mapping their position and relaying it to those on the ground. He hasn't been entrusted with a monsoon bucket just yet. There's plenty of training needed for that - you've got to be getting up to quite a few hours of experience.
