Thank you for your request of 17 June 2026 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
1. Please provide a financial breakdown of costs for the following appliances relating to
repairs, maintenance and servicing since these appliances have entered service with
NZFS/FENZ. I believe you were only able to provide information from 2002 onwards, which
is acceptable.
The breakdown should outline all repairs on the appliances. These should be details with
what work was carried out, by which contractor and what the total cost was for that
repair/service.
GPH551, WQ8319, EER891, XE2122, FEY849, DDW796, DDW795, XB5953, NT7871,
FWM97 (Previously BCW101).
2. Please also supply a total cost spent on that specific appliance, identified by registration
number. The range this captures should be from your earliest recorded date and up to,
including 17 June 2026.
3. In a separate document, please provide the total cost per aerial appliance, per year.
This letter is to advise that Fire and Emergency needs to extend the timeframe of our response to
your request by 20 working days, under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as consultations necessary to
make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.
For this reason, you can expect to receive our response no later than 13 August 2026. 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.
Nāku noa, nā
