Restricted fire season for rural Manawatu

Neighbourly.co.nz

The Manawatu, Rangitikei and Palmerston North rural districts are now in a restricted fire season.

The restrictions came in at 8am today, with a ban on any outdoor fires unless a permit has been granted by Fire and Emergency.

Principal Rural Fire Officer Bradley Shanks says that the drier conditions have warranted a change from an open fire season.
"A restricted fire season means you will need to apply for a permit for any outdoor fire and follow the conditions listed on your fire permit," he says.

Here's what you need to know:
- You must have a fire permit to light any outdoor fires.
- Hangi, umu and gas-fired barbecues are still permitted.
