Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

I am seeking the FENZ turn-out statistics for responses up the Mountain Road to Turoa Skifield and up the Bruce Road to Whakapapa Skifield for all the appliances in the fire brigades from Ohakune (including appliance #757), Waimarino (National Park), Whakapapa Village and Owhango over the last three years i.e. from present back to September 2022, specifically:

 Whether the call was on the Mountain Road or the Bruce Road.

 The nature of the call, for example, structure fire, medical, vehicle fire, MVA, etc.

 The quantity of each type of call.

 The number of times each responding appliance was:

o First arriving

o A secondary appliance supporting the first arriving.

o K28.

o K0.

o K1.

o Deployed in another capacity.

I am also seeking documents and correspondence relating to decisions made regarding the allocation of 4WD appliances to Ruapehu brigades. This includes emails to and from FENZ staff including but not limited to Bruce Stubbs, Bruce Crosby, Mikls Moran, Marty Webb, Marilla Swift, and John Hotter.

Yours faithfully,
