Dear Kieran

 

 

On behalf of the Commissioner I acknowledge receipt of your Official
Information Act request of 23 March 2017.  You requested the following
information:

 

I am requesting a full record of all phone calls that were made to all
emergency services between 5am Wednesday 15th February 2017 to 10pm
Wednesday 15th February 2017 in Christchurch City, namely around the
suburb of Cashmere, and especially from landlines or cell phones on
Worsleys Road, Cashmere.

The Rural fire services and Christchurch City fire service have asked for
all records to be released as part of an inquiry into the Port Hills
Fires. Unfortunately I lost my own house in the fire and I am starting an
inquiry on behalf of the residence who lost their homes into the reaction
times of emergency services the day we lost our homes. The times of calls
to 111 will help us with our inquiry

 

Your request is being actioned pursuant to the Official Information Act
1982.

 

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Kieran

 

I refer to your request of 23 March 2017 for a full record of all phone
calls that were made to all emergency services between 5am and 10pm on
Wednesday 15 February. May I first say how sorry we are to read about the
loss of your home.

 

All 111 emergency calls for Ambulance/Fire Service and NZ Police go
through to the SPARK initial call answering point (ICAP) who handle the
initial call and then pass it on to the relevant emergency service.

Police has contacted SPARK on your behalf and they inform us that there
were 5055 111 calls offered to the ICAP between 0500-2200 hours on the
Wednesday 15th February 2017. They also advise that there is no breakdown
readily available by location.

 

Police suggests you approach the NZ Fire Service with a request for any
more specific information you require.

 

I am sorry that we cannot assist on this occasion and advise you of your
right to complain to the Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with this
response.
