Fires prohibited in the Thames-Coromandel District

Ashleigh from Neighbourly.co.nz

As of the 20th of December, fires are unable to be lit in the council area of Thames-Coromandel and extending to the islands of the mainland.

District Manager of Fire and Emergency NZ, Daryl Trim, has shared that while open-air fires are banned as well as the use of private fireworks, holiday-makers and locals can still undertake a range of activities that includes the use of fire such as for barbecues.

"We are about to see an influx of people into Thames-Coromandel and we want to reduce the risk of fires getting out of control as much.'

'Being cautious and following the restrictions around fire will help keep you and your whānau and friends safe." Daryl Trim says.

Here's what you need to know:
- Open-air fires are banned in Thames-Coromandel and the islands off the mainland.
- Hangi, umu and gas-fired barbecues are still permitted.
- Restrictions will also be in place for the use of private fireworks.
