We refer to your request of 22 October 2025 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
I request an itemised list of the Fire and Emergency New Zealand vehicle fleet as at the
date of this request. Please provide this information in a structured format (CSV or Excel
preferred) including, for each vehicle:
1. Callsign
2. Station and Region
3. Service (Urban, Rural, USAR, Aviation, etc.)
4. Appliance Type Code (e.g. Type 1, Type 2, Tanker Medium etc.)
5. Chassis make and model
6. Body builder / manufacturer
7. Year of manufacture and year commissioned
8. Drivetrain (e.g. 4×2, 4×4, 6×4)
9. Transmission (Auto/Manual/RoadRanger)
10. Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM)
11. Water and foam tank capacities
12. Main pump model and rated output (L/min @ pressure)
13. Hose reel count (if applicable)
14. Breathing Apparatus seating capacity
15. Registration number and VIN
16. Odometer and/or engine hours (if recorded)
17. Any noted special features (e.g. PTO pump, winch, Comms support body, etc.)
If full release of all fields would be unduly burdensome, please prioritise inclusion of
station, callsign, type, make/model, year, rego number, drivetrain, and tank capacity, as
these are key operational characteristics.
This letter is to advise that Fire and Emergency needs to extend the timeframe of our response to
your request by 15 working days, under section 15A(1)(a) of the OIA, as the request is for a large
quantity of official information or necessitates a search through a large quantity of information
and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
For this reason, you can expect to receive our response no later than 11 December 2025. We will
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.
