Firework Safety
I know you will have seen this message often. But we will repeat it anyway.
Today is Guy Fawkes. A night where Fire and Emergency brigades nationwide get a huge influx of fire calls.
This year has seen Whangarei with quite a large deficit in overall rainfall. This coupled with the current heat wave, recent strong winds and todays low humidity has really increased the likelihood a vegetation fire can be accidently started. Last Saturdays fire at Abbey caves is a fine example of that.
So please be careful where you use your fireworks. Please ensure you have a hose pre-connected to a tap near where you use the fireworks.
And... if the worse happens and a fire does get started don't delay your decision, call us on 111.
It is much better to attend a fire already out or small enough to extinguish quickly then a large raging fire that takes huge resources to extinguish.
