AWARENESS

The devastating Port Hills fire showed how much indiscriminate and widespread damage a rural fire can inflict. Fighting these fires is dangerous and expensive. Predictions of drier summers point to a growing hazard. The risk is greatly reduced though, if you check out the local rules for lighting a fire – ‘Before you light, check it’s alright’. At different places, at different times, there will be complete fire bans. Or, you might be able to light a fire with a permit. Or, there might be no permit necessary. You need a clear area for the fire. Make sure you can, and do, put it out before you leave.

Merv Carr 027 333 1942 Is your BBQ summer-ready?

ManyKiwihomeshavea gas-powered Barbecue outside. These are great for cooking during the summer, but can also pose a fire risk if not stored and maintained correctly. Here are some tips for reducing the risk of fire when using Barbecues and gas cylinders. The soap bubble test A common cause of Barbecue fires is gas leaking from where the barbecue hose fits into the cylinder valve. Whenever you connect a gas cylinder to a barbecue, make sure it’s hand tight. Youcan do this by turning the gas cylinder on, and then pouring a little soapy solution (1/4 cup of water and a squirt of liquid suds) over the valve. If any bubbles are created you may have a gas leak. Turn the valve off and replace the cylinder O-ring. Barbecues Barbecues are potentially dangerous when used carelessly or when consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Treat your barbecue the same way you would a stove: don’t drink and fry,and avoid leaving cooking unattended. Ensure you regularly check and maintain any fittings and connections. Use the soap bubble test to make sure there are no leaks. Leave plenty of clear space around the barbecue. Make sure there is no nearby debris that could catch fire. Supervise children at all times when using the barbecue. Remove all excess fat from the barbecue after each use. Gas cylinders Use the soap bubble test to make sure gas cylinders are secure and not leaking. Make sure the cylinder is turned off when you’ve finished using it. Have all gas appliances serviced according to manufacturer instructions. For more safety tips around the home, Store and install cylinders in head to fireandemergency.co.nz an upright position.

Almost twice as many people received the test Civil Defence emergency alert to their mobile phone at its last test — meaning more New Zealanders than ever are capable of getting a heads-up in an emergency. Minister of Civil Defence Kris Faafoi says six out of 10 Kiwis received the test alert, a sharp increase on last year’s figure of 34 per cent. The reach rises to 69 per cent when it includes people who didn’t receive the alert themselves but were near somebody who did. “New Zealanders can take comfort in how quickly the system has consolidated itself as a critical alerting channel,” he says. “Emergency Mobile Alerts can now be received by most mobile phones sold in New Zealand, including models costing as little as $29. “This means more Kiwis can be warned via their phone about potentially life-threatening emergencies. “We know from international experience that once you hit about 70 per cent penetration, a critical mass is achieved in which you generate word of mouth that quickly spreads to just about everyone. “We expected it to take about three years to reach that figure, so I am pleased we’re on track to exceed that because it is another step to keeping people safe.” Kris says other vital emergency information channels — such as radio, TV, Reg McTaggart.
