Fire permits now required in Wairarapa
As of the 19th of January, a permit will be required to light an open fire in the Wairarapa District.
This change has come into effect due to the current summer weather pattern and predicted climate - especially within the south and east coasts of the Wairarapa Region.
Acting Wellington District Manager of Fire and Emergency NZ, Brett Lockyer says "If a fire was to get away in these conditions, it will be difficult to control, especially with the wind we have been experiencing. If it’s hot and windy, do not light a fire, even if you have a permit."
Fire and Emergency encourages all people planning on lighting fires this season to check the weather conditions. To apply for a fire permit, head to www.checkitsalright.nz......
