Tēnā koe Joseph
On 9 May 2025, you made a request to the National Emergency Management Agency. The request
was transferred to Fire and Emergency New Zealand on 12 May 2025. You asked for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
• “
Under the informations Acts would like the incident report for April the 1st at. 15 Fleming
St mangere east Manukau South Auckland please.”
Please find attached a copy of the SMS Incident Report (SMS Report). Some information has been
withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA, to protect the privacy of natural persons. In making this
decision, we have considered the public interest considerations in section 9(1) of the OIA. We have
also redacted the names of personnel involved with this incident and these have been labelled as
out of scope in the attached PDF.
Please note the SMS Report provided to you is generated by Fire and Emergency’s electronic
station management system. In SMS Reports, ‘Notifications’ and ‘Message Log’ fields are reported
in real time as fire crews and our communication centres communicate with each other during the
incident. They are not the official final records of incidents but word for word transcripts of ‘live’
situations as they occur. They may contain spelling errors or commonly used abbreviations.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602. We trust that the information being provided is of assistance.
If you require further information, please email [email address]
