Christmas Safety
Protect your loved ones, and prepare your home for the summer break festivities.
Kiwi Christmas means BBQ’s and lots of rellies coming to stay.
We want everyone to have a great summer break and take these simple steps to prepare their homes to be fire safe this holiday season.
• Check your BBQ for gas leaks using the soapy water test.
• If you have a fire call 111
• Save the beers for after cooking the BBQ, and get takeaways or use a microwave for a feed when you come back from a Christmas function.
• Make sure all sleeping areas have a working, long-life photoelectric smoke alarm.
• Check your Whanau’s smoke alarms. If they don’t have one, give them the gift of life and get them one for Christmas.
• If your door has a deadlock, leave the key in so people can escape quickly.
• Keep exits clear
• Have agreed safe meeting place and make sure any guests know where this is, and how to escape in an event of a fire.
Have a safe and very Merry Christmas from the team here at Wanganui Fire Station.

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!
