Keep safe this summer

The Team from Fire and Emergency NZ – Fire Safety

Barbecues are the focal point for a lot of Summer entertaining. Here is a few helpful tips to keep your Whanau safe while BBQ'n.


- If you've got bubbles, you've got troubles. Before using your BBQ, check your BBQ for gas leaks using the soapy water test.


- Keep looking while you are cooking!


- Don't Drink and Fry. Have a drink after the cooking is done.


- Don't add flammable fluid to an already lit fire.


- Never BBQ in enclosed areas.


- Dispose of hot coals properly and douse them in plenty of water.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
