Brigade and Station History Since 2020
S. Reynolds made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for S. Reynolds to read recent responses and update the status.
From: S. Reynolds
Tēnā koutou,
I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act 1982 relating to the number, status, and history of fire brigades and stations since 1 July 2020.
1. Brigade and station register as at 1 July 2020
Please provide a list of all fire brigades and stations (urban volunteer, rural volunteer, composite, and career) as at 1 July 2020, including for each:
Brigade/station name
Station identifier or callsign
Region or district
Brigade type (career, composite, urban volunteer, rural volunteer)
Operational status as at that date
2. Current brigade and station register
Please provide the same information as at the date of this request.
3. Status changes since 1 July 2020
Please provide a record of any brigade or station that has, since 1 July 2020:
Been disestablished or closed
Been merged with or absorbed into another brigade or station
Changed brigade type or classification
Been renamed or assigned a new station identifier
Been placed on reduced operational status or stood down
For each entry, please include the date the change took effect, the region or district, and the reason recorded for the change.
4. Decision-making framework
Please provide any policy, procedure, guideline, or internal framework that governs how Fire and Emergency identifies, assesses, and implements the merger, consolidation, or closure of a brigade or station. This includes any criteria used to determine whether a brigade or station should be subject to review, and the consultation process required before a decision is made.
5. Reviews or proposals since 1 July 2020
Please provide a list of any brigades or stations that have been subject to a formal review, proposal, or Tactical Resource Plan relating to potential merger, consolidation, or closure since 1 July 2020, regardless of whether that process resulted in a change. Please include the outcome or current status of each.
I am happy to receive this information in electronic form. Where information is held in a database or spreadsheet, I would prefer it provided in that format rather than as a PDF summary.
If any part of this request is refused, please identify which part and the grounds for refusal, and provide the remainder of the information requested.
Ngā mihi,
S. Reynolds
