SAFETY messages about the dangers of unattended cooking are not getting through. In the 12 months to June, Tairawhiti firefighters attended 35 home and business fires caused by unattended cooking. Almost all of the fires were in kitchens of homes. Three incidents have occurred in the past few weeks, including a close call last week at a Wainui Road home where overcooked food was found just in time. An unattended food fire led to the destruction of a small dwelling at Waituhi at the end of June. Firefighters at the time said the man living there was lucky to get out alive. A house on the corner of Queens Road and Karaka Street in Elgin was badly damaged earlier that month after a fire started in the kitchen. The family living there had to scramble to safety as the flames spread through their home. “The 35 cooking-related fires in the year to the end of June here was about what we normally see,” specialist fire investigator Derek Goodwin said, “The scary thing is despite all our messaging around the issue — like ‘keep looking while you are cooking’ — the number of call-outs like it has stayed pretty much the same over the years. “It’s clear the messages we push are not getting through to everyone.” CONSEQUENCES: This house fire in Queens Road in Elgin last month was caused by unattended cooking and fire investigator Mr Goodwin said not all cooking issues Derek Goodwin says it clearly illustrates the dangers of not ‘looking while you are cooking’. File picture developed into fully-fledged house fires but there have been instances where dwellings were badly shows on television, and so on. “As our messaging goes — ‘don’t drink and The last time there was a fatality as a result of damaged, even destroyed. “Our plea to people is if you put food on the fry’!” a kitchen fire here was about six years ago. “We have also noticed that ‘distraction’ has stove, don’t walk away from it until it’s cooked Mr Goodwin said it was fortunate more lives “That is something that no one wants to see been the principal reason why kitchen fires and you’ve turned the element or the oven off. had not been lost as a result of unattended happen so we appeal to the public to listen to our get started — normal living distractions like a “Don’t cook while you’re impaired by alcohol cooking here over the years. messaging. cellphone going off, the demands of children, or drugs. “We have had some close calls, though.” “Keep looking while you are cooking.” Mahia surfer ‘Mess we’re in today’ pulls off rescue in risky laid at council’s door conditions Strong opposition to river discharge application A COURAGEOUS effort by a Mahia surfer in by Alice Angeloni discharges were culturally unacceptable malfunction or blockage in the system cold and challenging surf conditions averted a and had been ignored by the council (dry water overflows). tragedy off Whangawehi harbour on the northern THE Gisborne community is fed up since iwi raised concerns in the 1990s.
