Tēnā koe Alan
Thank you for your email of 29 June 2024 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
I request a copy of the ICAD report for the Matakana Island Fire (F3883412) which was
reported on 23 Dec 2023. This should include the ICAD log for the period 23 Dec until the
incident was closed off.
Please find attached a copy of the requested ICAD Report. Some information has been withheld
pursuant to section 9(2)(a) of the OIA, to protect the privacy of natural persons. In making this
decision, we have considered the public interest considerations in section 9(1) of the OIA.
We have also redacted the names of personnel involved with this incident and these have been
labelled as
out of scope in the attached PDF. However, if you want their names, please let us know.
We may need to consult with the individuals concerned, which may take some time.
Please note the ICAD Report provided to you is generated by Fire and Emergency’s electronic
station management system. In ICAD 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. For this reason, they may contain spelling errors or commonly used
abbreviations.
This reply addresses the information you requested. You have the right to seek an investigation
and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is
av
ailable at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
We trust that the information being provided is of assistance. If you require further information,
please email [FENZ request email].
Nāku noa, nā
