Entrapment Report
Alan Thompson made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
This request has been reported as needing administrator attention (perhaps because it is vexatious, or a request for personal information)
From: Alan Thompson
Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,
Under the provisions of the Official Information Act I request a copy of the report relating to the FENZ National Safety Notice 013/2024 where a crew became entrapped by an advancing flame front and required rescuing. This report would have resulted from an internal review of the incident with analysis of why/how it occurred, what action resulted and the recommendations to prevent similar incidents.
Yours faithfully,
Alan Thompson

Dear Official Information Requests,
Thank you for your advice. It is the Operational Report that is of particular interest relating to how/where the entrapment occurred and any analysis and recommendations to avoid this re-occurring.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Official Information Requests,
I rather feel that I have been misled by your request to clarify whether I was seeking the operational review or the safety, health and wellbeing investigation report. I had advised the Operational report would be the more appropriate.
.
Having requested the Operational Report (on the entrapment accident) as you advised, you have now declined my request stating that it does not exist.
Accordingly, I now alternately advise that I request a copy of the safety, health and wellbeing investigation report that you also advise was undertaken subsequent to the accident and which resulted in the safety notice 013/2024 being published to staff and volunteers.
Yours sincerely,
Alan Thompson
