Seventeen fire officers were called out to Waimea College at 3.40am yesterday to deal with a flaming jandal. (aka a flip flop)

Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade station chief Ralph Lonsdale said the jandal had been set on fire deliberately and was "burning furiously".

"We're now waiting for the other jandal to catch fire, wherever it is."
