All of the Northland District is moving to a restricted fire season, except for the area north of Awanui to Cape Reinga and the Karikari Peninsula (that are year round in a restricted fire season) which will move to a prohibited fire season.
The change took place 8am Wednesday 12 January.
A restricted fire season means a permit will be required to light an open-air fire. If you need to apply for a permit, please use the ‘can I light a fire’ tool on www.checkitsalright.nz...
For the area north of Awanui to Cape Reinga and the Karikari Peninsula, a prohibited fire season means no open-air fires can be lit within the coverage area, and permits to light fires will not be issued.
Fire and Emergency continues to respond to the vegetation fire at Waiharara in the Far North, which started on 18 December 2021. This is requiring a significant operational response from across the Northland District and the rest of the country.
District Manager, Wipari Henwood says Northland’s dry and windy forecast this summer has increased fire risk. "We know that there is a higher risk for large, uncontrolled fires to be established in Northland in these conditions. If it’s hot and windy, please don’t light a fire."

The lovely Northlander, Natalie Ganley is fundraising for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue....by running 160km in the Tarawera Ultra Marathon
On 12th February Natalie will be running 160km to support Bay of Islands Animal Rescue (BOIAR) so that they can continue to make an enormous difference in so many lives.
A year ago she adopted their their own Sunny dog from BOIAR. Natalie says “ They do an amazing job, and receive no government funding to support their work. To date BOIAR has re-homed over 3000 dogs as well as hundreds of cats, horses, sheep, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens and even rabbits and alpaca. They also provide an ongoing de-sexing programme as well as educating on how animals should be cared for.”
We believe every animal deserves to be happy, healthy and loved. You can help Natalie by contributing to the care of these vulnerable animals via the Givealittle page here: givealittle.co.nz...
Ka pai Natalie - you're inspirational!

Take Ross for example. He’s a Ryman resident who began his musical journey at the age of 65. His ‘no worries’ lifestyle has meant that ten years later, Ross plays in several bands and tours in different towns playing music on a guitar he made himself. A little certainty provides great reassurance in knowing you can pursue the things you love in retirement, without any worries.
