"Fire and Emergency New Zealand's plans for your local area"

Illustration for Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017

You need to know what FENZ does in your local area. FENZ must plan for each local area. They take into account the national strategy and what services are needed in your area. They also think about the fire plan and advice from local groups. FENZ identifies what your area needs and what it can do to help. They make sure they are not doing the same things as other organisations. They show how their local plans fit with the national plan. When FENZ talks about local activities, they mean things they do in your area. They also do national activities, which are things they do across the whole country. FENZ has agreements with other organisations, like the Department of Conservation under section 147, the New Zealand Defence Force under section 148, and the Ministry of Education under section 151.
