As of 6am Tuesday 29 March, Southland District has entered a prohibited fire season. This means there is a total fire ban in Southland, and all permits are suspended until further notice.

The change in restriction is due to both the dry weather conditions and the current water levels which have been caused by lack of rainfall alongside high temperatures.

"It’s dry out there, and the NIWA long range weather forecast does not predict any significant rainfall for the Southland District in the near future." says Southland District Manager, Julian Tohiariki.
It’s coming into the "Roar", so Julian Tohiariki urges hunters heading into the bush to be vigilant and take extreme caution in these areas.

To learn more about what the fire seasons mean, check the Fire & Emergency NZ website.

Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
