Incident Alarm Levels

D. Greenhalgh made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand

The request was successful.

From: D. Greenhalgh

Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

I request the deployable appliance requirements for all alarm levels.

If possible, please include all deployable assets, including specialist vehicles, officers, and partner agency assets such as ambulances.

To clarify, when referring to alarm levels, I refer to the ones quoted in your SMS Incident Reports, such as the following:

02:03:44 ** Alarm level updated to 2
02:03:44 ** Recommended unit PUTA861 for requirement PUMP (>22.3 km)
02:03:44 ** Recommended unit PUTA867 for requirement PUMP (>22.3 km)
02:03:44 ** Recommended unit ROTO8121 for requi rement ISV (>33.3 km)
02:03:49 ** Requirement ROTO812 added for alarm level 2

If this information is area-specific, please provide this information for the Whangarei Urban Fire District.

Yours faithfully,
D. Greenhalgh

Good afternoon,

I am writing to clarify your request as the information currently being asked for may fall under 18(f) of the OIA: the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.

You have asked for the following:
"I request the deployable appliance requirements for all alarm levels.

If possible, please include all deployable assets, including specialist vehicles, officers, and partner agency assets such as ambulances."

The matrix of events, zones and alarm levels is quite large. They are broken down by the 20 incident types then by zones then by the 5 alarm levels. One of our smaller cities could have 11 zones which may require a different deployment per 20 event types and 5 alarm levels. Please note, there may not be much variance between zones for an alarm level.

Given this complexity, would you be happy to refine your request to structure fires only so your request would be the following:
1. The deployable appliance requirements for structure fires only
2. Across one zone for each alarm level in *insert city/town name*

Please also let us know which location you would like this information for.

If you could respond by Friday 8th March 2024, that would be appreciated.

Ngā mihi,
