Protect your loved ones, and prepare your home for the summer break festivities.
Kiwi Christmas means BBQ’s and lots of rellies coming to stay.
We want everyone to have a great summer break and take these simple steps to prepare their homes to be fire safe this holiday season.

• Check your BBQ for gas leaks using the soapy water test.
• If you have a fire call 111
• Save the beers for after cooking the BBQ, and get takeaways or use a microwave for a feed when you come back from a Christmas function.
• Make sure all sleeping areas have a working, long-life photoelectric smoke alarm.
• Check your Whanau’s smoke alarms. If they don’t have one, give them the gift of life and get them one for Christmas.
• If your door has a deadlock, leave the key in so people can escape quickly.
• Keep exits clear
• Have agreed safe meeting place and make sure any guests know where this is, and how to escape in an event of a fire.

Have a safe and very Merry Christmas from the team here at Wanganui Fire Station.

Wasp wipeout - can you help?

The Team from Wasp Wipeout

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.

This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.

While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region

So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.
