Cantabrians are being asked to resist the temptation to head into the Port Hills and have a look at the damage caused by the fire.

Fire crews continue to work on the blaze which destroyed 11 homes and chewed through more than 2000 hectares of bush.

Cordons at Worsleys Road, Kennedys Bush Road, Hoon Hay Valley Road and Dyers Pass Road have been relaxed for residents, but the area is still off limits for the public as there's a significant safety risk.

The Port Hills are still considered an active fire zone.
