Thank you for your request of 22 May 2025, to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
Please can you provide the incident Reports for F4217041, F4218337 and F4218455
Please find attached a copy of the requested SMS Incident Reports (SMS Reports). These SMS
Reports are not yet complete. However, we have decided to share the report(s) with you as it
stands at this time. It is possible that information in the report may change, or more information
may be added, before a final version is generated.
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 label ed as
out of scope in the attached PDF.
Please note the SMS Reports provided to you are 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,
