Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,
I am interested in as to why after viewing all your other requests for information that no one else has been asked this under section 12. This request is neither frivolous or vexatious, and it will provide useful probability's
As I'm sure your both very busy people and cyber aware it would be foolish of me to provide such detail in a online forum, Can you advise where you would like me to send my information to that proves I am a person in New Zealand?
Yours faithfully,
Nighthawk01

Dear Fire and Emergency Zealand,
I will not require the names and details of your volunteers, just the communications.
The reason I am interested in all aspects of this is because I have been gathering information
to help me write a book about how things impinge on performance in
volunteer organizations and what we can learn from this.
Yours sincerely,
Nighthawk01
