Tēnā koe James
Thank you for your request of 6 January 2025, to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
fol owing information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
Hi, I'm inquiring about FENZ's use of the Hazmat Command Vehicle on 14 August 2024
between the time of around 8:30pm to 10:00pm in Waiuku, South Auckland. As a New
Zealand citizen I'm requesting:
1. An incident report of the emergency this vehicle was responding to in this location, in the
time frame stated above.
2. The radio communications that were made to and from this vehicle during the same time
frame.
We wrote to you on 22 January 2025, advising we were unable to iden�fy the incident you asked
about and requested further details. Thank you for confirming the address as Bay View Drive,
Waiuku. We have undertaken a thorough search of our incident records and we have not iden�fied
an incident on Bay View Drive, Waiuku on 14 August 2024. For this reason, we are refusing your
request under sec�on 18(e) of the OIA, as the document alleged to contain the informa�on
requested does not exist or, despite reasonable efforts to locate it, cannot be found.
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 a
t www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
