Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter
Merry Christmas Neighbours,
Attached is Don's last newsletter for 2023 with recommendations how to keep safer all year round and also during Holiday season e.g. don't leave a descriptive phone message on voicemail etc that you're away and best not to post your holiday plans on sites like facebook.
And of course there's plenty more in the newsletter to help us :-)
I'm suggesting we use Don's email address to wish him a Happy & Safe Christmas and New Year and a thank you for his ongoing service to our community. Don't forget to mention Piper :-)

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
