Did you know fires have been banned and fire vigilance urged in this windy weather?
Fire and Emergency NZ has cancelled any fire permits in Northland and urged everyone to take extreme care, as the strong winds and dry weather creates difficult firefighting conditions until Monday. Firefighters are also on high alert, with helicopters at the ready, in case the wind causes flare-ups in one of three fires still burning in Kaipara and the Far North. This summer has been one of the worst fire seasons in decades, with nearly 3000 hectares burnt by four major fires, as well as numerous smaller vegetation fires.
