Are you planning a burn on your property? Let us know first!
Whether you are in an open season or you have a fire permit, letting us know when you plan to burn can reduce unnecessary call outs for our crews.
By using this simple online tool and notifying us of your burn:
Our 111 call operators know there is a planned burn in the area.
Calls from the public reporting this fire can be cross-checked with what we know is happening in the area.
Our teams can check in with the land owner to make sure their burn is still safe and under control.
It reduces unnecessary call outs for our crews keeping them available for emergencies.
So before you light your fire, remember to let us know first at https://www.firepermit.nz/fenz/Default.aspx
