As winter hits and fire use increases, people should have working smoke alarms (checked when we changed our clocks for daylight saving) and hot ashes need to be disposed of correctly - not put in a rubbish bag and left in or near a house.
In certain conditions ashes can stay dangerous for up to five days, he says.
FENZ recommends using a metal container when cleaning out a fire, leaving ash for five days, away from the house, before double bagging and even then waiting before putting out with the rubbish if they must be sent to landfill.
A slew of fires in Taupō kept crews busy overnight, with two under investigation. Emergency servic…

Some Stuff and Neighbourly readers have been concerned about an accurate count of the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Taupō, as opposed to the whole Lakes DHB area which takes in a population of just over 100,000 and covers 9,570 square kilometres running from north of Rotorua to Turangi … View moreSome Stuff and Neighbourly readers have been concerned about an accurate count of the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Taupō, as opposed to the whole Lakes DHB area which takes in a population of just over 100,000 and covers 9,570 square kilometres running from north of Rotorua to Turangi in the south, east as far as Kaingaroa Village and west to Mangakino.
In response to this question Dr Phil Shoemack, Medical Officer of Health, Toi Te Ora Public Health said just after 4pm on Tuesday afternoon that confirmed cases in the DHB area are seven in Rotorua and four in Taupō.
Current confirmed cases of Covid-19:
Rotorua - 7
Taupō - 4

The producers of New Zealand grass-fed Wagyu beef and premium farm-raised venison have launched a “Feed the Frontline” social media campaign, asking for nominations for supermarket workers who are “still smiling, demonstrating patience or making sacrifices” in order to help Kiwis get food on the table during the Alert Level 4 lockdown.
Thirty nominees will receive gift packs of First Light premium meat to share with their bubbles.
First Light chief executive Jason Ross says he felt it important to recognise the role supermarkets and food stores play in the response to Covid-19.
“We know how hard everyone at retail level is working right now. We see it, we understand how challenging it is, and we appreciate that if it wasn’t for supermarkets, companies like ours would be struggling to make it through.”
The initiative, for which nominations close on Sunday April 19, has already seen over 100 names put forward, and Ross says the comments from Kiwi shoppers have been touching.
To nominate a local supermarket staff member go to First Light’s Facebook or Instagram page, and leave a comment.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.
If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.
ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.
