Information Request – F4058978 - 14 Paton Road, Hope
Thank you for your information request dated 01 October 2024 asking for the SMS Incident Report relating to a fire
at F4058978 - 14 Paton Road, Hope
.
In accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), we enclose the SMS Incident Report
(SMS Report). 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. We have redacted the names of the firefighters who attended this incident. 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 SMS Report provided to you is generated by Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s electronic station
management system. 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 spelling 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 av
ailable at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
