Tēnā koe Mark
Thank you for your request of 29 June 2025, to Fire and Emergency New Zealand, requesting
information relating to response statistics for 12 brigades. 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 8 August 2025. We wil
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.
Nāku noa, nā
