Pyroclassic Fires now approved ULEBs

Pyroclassic Fires Ltd

There’s a new fire in town…. we are absolutely thrilled to announce that both the Pyroclassic IV and Mini Wood burning fires are now ULEBs. One of the cleanest wood burning fires, made right here in New Zealand, this unique Kiwi fire can now become a part of your family.

The ceramic cast cylinder of the fire chamber retains heat like a kiln so you can enjoy consistent warmth, large heat storage and the ultimate convenience of having to reload the fire less.

Can you imagine? Loading your fire up at night and waking up warm with your new Pyro that has provided an overnight burn to take off the chill of the cooler winter mornings. Available in over 200 colour options and with a 10mm thick steel top plate that also provides an excellent additional cooking surface.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...

The Team from New Zealand Police

As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.

Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.

There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”

A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
