Hi neighbours, Fire and Emergency NZ region manager Ron Devlin has warned Aucklanders against using chainsaws, lawnmowers, rubbish fires and vehicles with hot exhausts, especially during the afternoon which is the hottest time of day.
The warning was prompted by three lifestyle block fires in the Karaka and Clevedon areas in recent weeks, which were caused by sparks from machinery.
The drought Auckland is currently experiencing is "unusual", Devlin said, adding that while there had been a bit of rain, it wasn't enough to lower the fire risk.
Anyone who sees smoke should dial 111.

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!

Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:
