Career Appliances not operating at full capacity
Harwood Wilson made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Harwood Wilson to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Harwood Wilson
Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,
Please provide the following information.
The number of career appliances (including pumps, ladders, and specials) that were not operating at full capacity (either out of service or short-crewed) during the months of January, February, March, and April 2026.
Please table the number of hours these appliances were not operating at full capacity, by month and by reason (i.e. mechanical issues, no crew, short-crewed, industrial action, special events, etc.). This should exclude appliances recommissioning post-incident or callback appliances.
If any data is not available, please detail the reason it is not recorded and outline any plans Fire and Emergency New Zealand has to improve data collection and address issues contributing to appliances being out of service or short-crewed.
Yours faithfully,
Harwood Wilson
