Tēnā koe Colin
Thank you for your request of 1 October 2025 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
I am requesting a copy of both the current Fire and Emergency NZ Fire investigation policy,
commonly referred to as P3.
I am also requesting a copy of the new draft P3 policy that has been developed and is
awaiting implementation / sign off.
On 1 October 2025, we reached out to you to ask for evidence that you satisfy any of the criteria
noted in section 12 of the OIA so that we could determine your eligibility to make a request under
the OIA. Unfortunately, we have not received your reply, and for this reason we will not consider
your request under the OIA.
However, please be advised that we do publish some information about fire investigations, and
how they are undertaken on our website. For example, please see the fol owing links:

your eligibility to
