Fire warning for Hawke's Bay

Fire and Emergency New Zealand is asking Hawke’s Bay residents to hold off lighting fires and to check any historic burn sites are completely out with high winds expected over the weekend.
"Please don’t light fires when strong winds are forecast," says Fire and Emergency Principal Rural Fire Officer Trevor Mitchell.
"The winds can cause a fire to more easily spread and get out of control."

"Anyone who has lit a fire should also double check it is fully extinguished so the winds don’t reignite it," Trevor Mitchell says.

"Dig right down into the site, open it up and put some water on it to make sure it is absolutely out."

Trevor Mitchell says people need to be extra careful as we go into a windy period of the year, especially with unusually dry weather.

"We’ve had half the usual rainfall we’d expect over winter in the Hawke’s Bay and there’s still a lot of dry materials around from last summer - meaning there is more fuel for a fire to burn," he says.

"Check the weather forecasts and take the necessary precautions to prevent a fire getting out of control."

"If you need any advice, get in touch with the Hawke's Bay Area Office on 06 835 2114 or go to www.checkitsalright.nz.... You can find information on that website about how to reduce the risk of fire."

"If you're concerned about a fire, call 111."

I've been in media, one way or another, most of my life. I owned and edited The Havelock North Village Press in the nineties etc.
I've been subscribing at around $12 a week to Hawkes Bay Today but am considering cancelling as most of the stories are Hawkes Bay Yesterday!!. Is it just me or is the paper just full of " he said, she said" gossip and items about neighbours fighting or kids having their bikes pinched. Most of the other stories are beat-ups from their parent company NZME in Auck. or are items well and truly covered online by Stuff or various other social media outlets.
Anyone else agree that it's time to cancel or should I persevere?

House prices are defeating the pessimists view of what they thought would happen during covid and have increased dramatically. As one expert said, "we're in the dessert stage". I also liked the interview with the lady that said "why wouldn't you sell and make an extra 100k!" Will you be tempted to release that profit? Will it bottom out soon? Get on to it!😆
