Prohibited fire season for Southland District
As of 6am Tuesday 29 March, Southland District has entered a prohibited fire season. This means there is a total fire ban in Southland, and all permits are suspended until further notice.
The change in restriction is due to both the dry weather conditions and the current water levels which have been caused by lack of rainfall alongside high temperatures.
"It’s dry out there, and the NIWA long range weather forecast does not predict any significant rainfall for the Southland District in the near future." says Southland District Manager, Julian Tohiariki.
It’s coming into the "Roar", so Julian Tohiariki urges hunters heading into the bush to be vigilant and take extreme caution in these areas.
