High risk of wildfires

Ashleigh from Neighbourly.co.nz

Fire and Emergency NZ are asking residents in Manawatu-Whanganui to check on historic fires within the past month and ensure these are fully extinguished.

Community Risk Manager Kerry O’Keefe shares that several large wildfires have started recently due to strong winds reigniting old fires.

To check these historic fires, residents are asked to dig it up, pour water over it and use the back of your hand to check there is no heat left.

"Check the fire danger and weather forecast. If there is high or extreme fire danger, or it’s hot and windy - please don’t light a fire. In these conditions, it’s too risky that your fire could spread and get out of control," Kerry says.

"Let’s all do our part to prevent a wildfire, and keep our firefighters from attending an avoidable callout."

Before lighting any further fires in the Manawatu-Whanganui area, check the conditions by heading to www.checkitsalright.nz...
