Information Request – 8 Eclipse Road, Burnside, Dunedin
I refer to your official information request dated 20 November 2022 asking for the incident report
for a fire that occurred on 20 November 2013 at Eclipse Road, Kaikorai Valley, Dunedin.
In accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), I
enclose the SMS
Incident Report for F3591563 which relates to a fire that occurred on 19 November 2013 at 8
Eclipse Road, Burnside, Dunedin. Some personal information has been withheld to protect the
privacy of natural persons under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA. We do not consider that there is a
public interest in the release of the information which outweighs withholding it.
Please note the SMS Incident Report provided to you is generated by Fire and Emergency New
Zealand’s electronic station management system (SMS Report). In SMS Reports, ‘Notifications’ and
‘Message Log’ fields are reported in real time as fire crews and our communication centres
communicate with each other during the incident. They are not the official final records of
incidents but word for word transcripts of ‘live’ situations as they occur. They may contain spel ing
errors or commonly used abbreviations.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
