Stan M made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Stan M to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Stan M

Kia ora,

I'm reaching out to request some information under the Official Information Act (OIA) to help verify and update the career and volunteer statistics on the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Wikipedia page. My goal is to ensure that the page accurately reflects current data about FENZ's personnel.

Specifically, I'd appreciate information on the following which I imagine are reasonably straightforward:

- The current numbers for career firefighters, management, and support staff employed by FENZ,
- The current number of urban/rural volunteers,
- The number of career, composite and volunteer stations (incl rural),
- The percentage of total incidents attended by career firefighters versus volunteer firefighters (versus both?),
- Population coverage (career, composite, volunteer)

I understand that these last two are nuanced statistics, however the claim online is that career brigades deal to 80% of incidents and cover 80% of the population which I think is an oversimplification and probably not correct.

Thank you for your time, and any help appreciated.

Ngā mihi
Stan Maguire
