A Restricted Fire Season is in place:
Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) have advised that as of 8am Friday 24 January 2020 a Restricted Fire Season is in place for the entire Horowhenua District, until revoked or amended by Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
Note: All beach and sand dune areas remain in a Prohibited Fire Season (Total Fire Ban) 365 days a Year.
Obviously a reply from the same forward -thinking -common-sense department @ the council who thought spending $ on delivering then putting tree bark on the beach access road was a good idea.
