Review of the Ashburton Appliance incident.
The Ashburton Fire Appliance Operational Review is publicly available on our web

interest in the release of the information which outweighs withholding it.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.

le at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
