Waimakariri District Council and Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) are urging residents to be aware of fire dangers, in spite of recent rain, as conditions can change rapidly.
Fenz principal rural fire officer Bruce Janes said it was very likely there would be fires in the district over the summer period, as seen in previous years.
"Don't be fooled by all the rain and cooler temperatures. All that moisture means lots of growth [and], when summer does decide to show, it will rapidly dry off and become a lot of available fuel for any wild fire that may come along," he said.
"When you're working on your property or in the garden, keep machinery well maintained to reduce potential sparks, and mow lawns in cooler conditions.
"You should also assess the risk of fire to your property and get rid of any shrubs, long grass or trees near your home which could burn easily. Having an escape plan for your family and pets is also vital."
The warning comes as scientists and academics caution that the 2017 Port Hills fires "could become the norm that New Zealand fire agencies have to deal with", and criticise agencies for paying "lip service to lessons learned".
The Fenz website (www.fireandemergency.nz) has important information about how to reduce fire risk.
Long grass or any other fire hazard can be reported to Fenz online at www.fireandemergency.nz....

There are 2 black..however the new one is opened and there is also one which was in my printer..sadly I do not know which is which !
I can not guarantee these BLACK inks as they have been opened.
There is also a complete sealed set of 6x4 inch photo papers. Also some loose 6x4 papers.
Reason for selling...my printer refused to print after I had been away for 2 months...being a novice I thought new ink would solve the problem..but alas..not so.
I bought a new cheap printer and these inks are not compatible to it.
These cost me $149.00.docket still attached.
I wish to sell for $60.00 ONO

Remember the most experienced rider should ride at the back of the pack, and plan your stops along the way. If you find yourself ahead of the group slow down and wait for others to catch up. And as always, ride your own ride and stay Shiny Side Up!

Right up to the time of writing, I am still meeting with constituents who are asking me to continue fighting for roading solutions for our region and I believe this reflects the level of concern being felt, especially going into the holiday season, around State Highway 1 at Woodend.
We've had some horrible collisions in the last few months and the crossing at the school is giving parents and residents grave concerns ahead of the start of another school year with the current heavy traffic volumes.

Hi neighbours,
What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.
This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?

How did you ring in 2019?
Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar.

Is anyone missing a 2011 Toyota Yaris licence GCW243?
It has been dumped outside my house within the last hour. It is in rather worse for wear condition.
This has been reported to the police.
