Why was Gisborne 8118 in Christchurch

Jaden Jones made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand

The request was successful.

From: Jaden Jones

Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

I noted on a YouTube video at the Ravensdown Fire in Hornby that Christchurch 2518 (ELY999) was not at the incident but instead Gisborne 8118 (FKG467) was. Is there a reason ELY999 was not in service at the time.

Yours faithfully,

Jaden Jones

In accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, I
release the following information.
 
Christchurch 2518 (ELY999) was not at the incident as it was undergoing
