Waiharara Fire Costs (2)
Alan Thompson made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
The request was successful.
From: Alan Thompson
Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,
On 8 April 2022 you advised me in your response to my OIA request that the total costs to that date for the Dec 2021 Waiharara Fire in Northland were $7,023,231.
In Dec 2022 Ron Devlin was reported in the media as stating that "The last time I looked it was just short of about $9.2 million". At this time Mr Devlin was commenting on the release of the fire investigation report for Waiharara.
Given the significant difference in the costs advised in April 2022 ($7m) and Dec 2022 ($9.2m) I request an updated total cost in the form as provided to me in my April 2022 OIA request.
Yours faithfully,
Alan Thompson
