Type 4 fleet and relief aerials
Mike Hunua made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
Currently waiting for a response from Fire and Emergency New Zealand, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).
From: Mike Hunua
Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,
While Fire and Emergency NZ has purchased new type 5 and 6 appliances, it has assessed and made plans to replace its ageing type 4 Aerial fleet, given some of these appliances are used as front-line appliances in large metro areas such as Ellerslie and Te Atatu, as well as providing the main aerial capability to regional cities around NZ.
Has FENZ been running Type 4 appliances in Auckland as pumps only on frontline response with no ladder capability due to breakdowns while not having enough relief ladder appliances to cover Type 4 being off for repairs?
Has FENZ planned for type 5 and 6 relief appliances once the new aerials arrive? What will FENZ do with the existing type 5 and 6s they will replace?
Yours faithfully,
Mike Hunua
