Far North Mayor, John Carter QSO, says it was a very significant fire for the coastal settlement. “I would like to pay tribute to the outstanding work carried out by FENZ and the other emergency services. Without their intervention I shudder to think what might have happened. I also want to thank the many individuals and organisations in the area that provided a wonderful level of support to those in the community who were evacuated at the height of the emergency.”
Mayor Carter also has a strong fire safety message to visitors and residents alike: “It is so important that advice and instructions offered by FENZ is followed – to do otherwise is both foolhardy and dangerous. This fire was a warning to us. Fortunately, we've escaped without loss of life, loss of property or injury this time. Every resident and every visitor to Northland has a responsibility to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again. This has been a massive warning.”
A total fire ban has been in place for Whangārei and Kaipara since Thursday 24 December. The Far North remains in a restricted fire season meaning a permit is needed for all outdoor fires. However, fire permits are suspended in the area until further notice due to the weather conditions. For the latest details on where and when you can light a fire, go to the FENZ www.checkitsalright.nz... webpage.

This means open air fires are not permitted across the Whangārei and Kaipara districts and all fire permits have been suspended.
The ban on private use of fireworks also remains in place in the Karikari peninsula and Ahipara township.
The Far North remains in a restricted fire season but fire permits are still suspended in the area until further notice due to the weather conditions.
Go to www.checkitsalright.nz... for more information.
"It’s very important people follow the fire ban and don’t light any outside fires or let off fireworks," says Principal Rural Fire Officer Myles Taylor.
"It’s too risky. In the current hot and dry conditions a stray ember or firework could easily start a fire which would quickly spread."
"It’s still very dry in the Far North but we are expecting some rain to come through the area over the next few days," says Myles Taylor.
"We will continue to monitor the conditions and fire danger level. Fire permits will be reinstated when it’s safe to do so and when there is less risk of a fire getting out of control.
"We need the people of Northland, and those planning a holiday in Northland, to do their part to prevent a wildfire this summer."

I am not much of an astronomy fan by and large - and so I must admit that I haven't the foggiest how to find Jupiter or Saturn in the night sky (If I'm lucky I can find Venus, Orion, and the big dipper).

Can anyone tell us approximately where in the sky to observe this event, and at what time? I found some info from the Northern Hemisphere that says SW just above the horizon ... but does that apply to us as well? Usually the configurations are 'upside down' as we view them, and things don't become visible in the same way between North and South.
Any pertinent information would be appreciated, thanks.
