Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

I currently work with clients with Hoarding Disorder in New Zealand and have been undertaking some research in this space.

I would like information pertaining to all national fire & medical call-outs and incidents for residences where hoarding has been present in the last 5 years.

Please can you break down the information into the following:

1. The number of fire callouts and incidents by region by year (5 years).
2. The number of medical callouts and incidents by region by year (5 years).
3. The number of fires nationally relating to Hoarded Environments (5 years).
4. The number of medical events resulting in death due to Hoarding or Hoarded Environments preventing emergency services from getting access or providing treatment (5 years).

5. Please can you explain how FENZ records residences where hoarding is present so the responders are prepared when responding (this may be regional?)?
6. Please can you explain what initiatives are implemented by or with FENZ in collaboration with govt or NGO's relating to people at risk in their home due to hoarding behaviours in their home.

Yours faithfully,

Sommer Corrigan
