FENZ refused this request: "A decision has been made to withhold this information under section 9(2)(h) of the Official Information Act (OIA). Fire and Emergency New Zealand considers that withholding of the information is necessary to enable us to maintain legal professional privilege.
Fire and Emergency does not consider that, in the circumstances of this particular case, the withholding of this information is outweighed by other considerations which render it desirable, in the public interest, to make the information available"
