Auckland Foam Tender Replacement

Mike Hunua made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand

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

From: Mike Hunua

Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

What is the operational status of Auckland's Foam tender based at Onehunga, is this appliance currently operational?
If so has FENZ made contingency plans for large petrochemical fires that may require its response in the Auckland area and surrounds?

-Does FENZ have sufficient stock of class B fire foam available in the Auckland area?

-Does FENZ have a foam tender replacement program?

-Has a stock take of foam stock been undertaken for Auckland and/or Nationally?

-In a large-scale petrochemical incident involving fire, how would large amounts of foam be transported to an incident if a foam tender is not available?

-Does FENZ have agreements with other agencies for accessing foam for a large fire event?

-Have front-line staff been trained to use petrochemical firefighting foams?

-Is the foam stored in foam tenders nationally environmentally safe and doesn't contain "forever chemicals"?

Yours faithfully,

Mike
