Kohi & Ngamotu Rural Fire Brigades

Kohi & Ngamotu Rural Fire Brigades Provides a single approach to assist you in helping protect yourself, your family, your neighbours and your business from the threat of rural wildfire.

The Taranaki Rural fire Authority was formed on the 1st July 2013 and provides a single approach to improved fire management of rural fire within the District. The TRFA was disestablished when Fire and Emergency New Zealand came into being on July 1 2017, in order to unify urban and rural fire services. In September of 2021, a new district structure and revised district boundaries were established

. Increasing urban development is occurring within the rural areas, as people are attracted to a rural lifestyle within an easy commuting distance of the Taranaki urban areas, and this trend is expected to increase. This will bring a corresponding increase in the values at risk and the potential for wildfires. The Taranaki Fire District includes large areas of public recreation, leisure and tourism. This results in seasonal fluctuations in the population and demands on recreational space. Fire prevention measures are considered to incorporate these changes to mitigate any increased fire risks or threats. It’s everyone’s responsibility to manage the risk of wildfires. You will find this website will assist you in helping protect yourself, your family, your neighbours and your business from the threat of wildfire. You will also find important information on fire season status across the district, and New Zealand, by visiting https://www.checkitsalright.nz/

MetService have issued a Strong Wind Warning and a Heavy Rain Watch for Taranaki as Cyclone Vaianu approaches.

🟠Strong Wind Warning
From 1pm - 11pm (Sunday 12 April)
🟡Heavy Rain Watch
From 8am – 8pm (Sunday 12 April)

What to expect:
➡️Strong southwesterly winds developing Sunday afternoon and evening
➡️Gusts up to 120km/h in exposed areas
➡️Period of heavy rain throughout the day
➡️Conditions may make it driving difficult especially for high sided vehicles and motorbikes.

What this could mean:
➡️Possible damage to trees, powerlines and unsecured items
➡️Surface flooding in some areas
➡️Power outages are possible

At this stage, there is still some uncertainty, and these warnings will likely be updated as the cyclone moves closer and the forecast becomes clearer.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will share updates if anything changes.

🐰🥚 Don’t let your smoke alarms sleep through Daylight Savings! 🕒🔥

As the clocks change this Easter weekend, it’s the perfect time to give your smoke alarms a quick check.

✔️ Press the button and make sure they’re sounding loud and proud
✔️ If it chirps or stays silent, it might be time for a battery change
✔️ While you’re at it, give them a quick dust or vacuum
It only takes a few seconds but it could save lives.

Take a moment to check your smoke alarms when you change your clocks.

🐰🥚 Stay safe and have a happy Easter! 🕒🔥
