Inland Buller moves to prohibited fire season
Fire and Emergency NZ has declared a prohibited fire season in the inland Buller area, as dry and hot conditions have reached the threshold for banning outdoor fires.
West Coast district manager Myles Taylor said the fire risk was very high due to the hot and dry conditions, and there was no significant rain forecast to bring relief.
The prohibited fire season came into effect Wednesday morning. It means all existing fire permits are suspended immediately and no new permits for outdoor fires will be issued.
The fire ban covers all of the inland Buller zone, from Ikamatua to Reefton and Inangahua, Maruia and Springs Junction.
The rest of the West Coast remains in a restricted fire season.
