Tēnā koe Alan 
 
Thank you for your email of 04 November 2024, to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting 
the following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA): 
 
1.  A copy of the ICAD report for this incident. 
 
2.  Copies of the Incident Actions Plans for the first 5 days/nights of the response to this 
incident. 
 
Your request is being considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). 
 
This letter is to advise that Fire and Emergency needs to extend the timeframe of our response to 
your request by 10 working days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as consultations 
necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request 
cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. 
 
For this reason, you can expect to receive our response no later than 16 December 2024. We will 
endeavour to respond sooner than this date if possible. If you no longer require this information, 
please let us know. 
 
You have the right to request an investigation and review of Fire and Emergency’s decision to 
extend the timeframe by the Ombudsman. Information about how to make a complaint is 
available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
