Dear Official Information Requests,

I seek confirmation of the information as supplied for the incident F3423463 (Lake Ohia 14 Feb '22).

You advised that the additional costs were $ 335,836 of which $237,248 was the cost of Aerial Services (helicopters). You also advised that the area burnt was 0.25 hectares or 2,500 sq metres. This equates to an area something like 50m wide by 50m long.

Can you please confirm the aerial services cost and the burnt area you have advised as it seems unlikely that such a small wild fire (0.25ha) would require some 60 hours ($237,248) of helicopter time.

Yours sincerely,

Alan Thompson
