This new restriction covers all areas within Hamilton City, Waikato, Hauraki, Matamata Piako, Waipa, Otorohanga and Waitomo.
District Manager of Fire and Emergency NZ, Daryl Trim, has shared that this change from open to restricted has come after the recent dry spell, where very little rain has fallen over the last three weeks.
While some open-air fires such as campfires, bonfires and land management fires will require a permit, holiday-makers and locals can still undertake a range of activities that include fire.
"If it does require one, the website can take you through a few easy steps to get permitted for the activity" Daryl Trim says.
Here's what you need to know:
- Open-air fires will need permits in the areas of Hamilton City, Waikato, Hauraki, Matamata Piako, Waipa, Otorohanga and Waitomo.
- Some activities such as hangi, umu and gas-fired barbecues are still permitted.
To get information on whether your planned activity requires a permit, head to www.checkitsalright.nz......

But for many years, chunks of asphalt from the Sunset Beach car park have been falling onto the beach below, and houses which used to see only sand dunes, now have uninterrupted views of the sea as it crawls ever closer.
The old surf club and community hall had to be demolished as the ground crumbled into the sea, and some homes have been demolished or abandoned as they teeter too close to the sea.
