We refer to your request of 22 January 2026 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting
further information relating to MAN appliances under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). We
copy and respond to your questions below.
1. Given that the MAN appliances wil not be delivered by 25 December 2025, which has now
passed, wil Fire and Emergency be issuing any correction or updated timeframes to the
statement? What is the cause for delay?
In a previous OIA response, Fire and Emergency confirmed the statement that 28 fire pumps
would be coming out to communities by 25 December 2025 was inaccurate at the time it was
made. The statement made referred to the delivery date of the trucks, rather than the date that all
appliances were planned to be operational. The response can be found
here. We continue to work
on the logistics of introducing the appliances into operational service and do not yet have a
schedule of when this will occur for each station.
2. Could you please include the “Build Number” for each MAN appliance that is going to these
stations?
3. Does this list include the “prototype” MAN trucks supplied by Angloco and SEM?
Registration Plates PST935 and QQC305? If not, please include this information also.
The build numbers for the 29 Angloco MAN Type 3 appliances, including the trial appliance, are
P4991, P4992, P4937, P4993, P4994, P4995, P5031, P5032, P5033, P5034, P5035, P5036, P5037,
P5038, P5039, P5040 P5041, P5042, P5043, P5044, P5045, P5046, P5047, P5048, P5049, P5050,
P5051, P5052, and P5053.
We have not yet allocated individual appliances to individual stations, except for the trial
appliance P4937, which is allocated to Rotorua. The SEM MAN appliance, build number 001, is
allocated to New Plymouth.
4. Can Fire and Emergency provide a similar list of appliances that wil be receiving the
EmergencyOne Scanias?
The two Emergency One Scania appliances are being deployed to Parnel and Grey Lynn.
We trust that the information being provided is of assistance. If you require further information,
please email [FENZ request email]
Please note that because of the identified public interest in the information that you have
requested, we intend to publish this response (with your personal details removed) on our
website.
