Throughout summer, a restricted fire season will be in place on the mainland to reduce the risk of fires in rural communities.

During this period a fire permit is required for all outdoor fires. A total fire ban also applies to all islands in the Hauraki Gulf.

In urban areas, outdoor fires are allowed for cooking and heating, but should be used in a safe and considerate manner.

Fire permits and fire safety advice are free, but always check it’s all right before you light – see the Auckland Council website or Facebook for more information.
