Your checklist
  • Get low

    Smoke is poisonous and more deadly than flames.

    If you breathe smoke for more than a few breaths it can kill you.

  • Be fast

    A house fire can kill you in less than three minutes.

    Don't spend time trying to save possessions.

  • Close doors

    A closed door buys you time.

    It slows down the spread of fire, giving you more time to get to safety.

  • Get out - stay out!

    People have died by going back into a fire.

    Don't leave the meeting place to go back inside for any reason.

Fire and Emergency and NZPFU talks positive - to continue tomorrow

 

Fire and Emergency Chief Executive Kerry Gregory says talks with the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union today were positive and discussions will continue tomorrow.

"We put a new offer on the table that recognises the proposed financial support from the Government," he says.

"This provided a good foundation for constructive conversations about how we can reach a settlement that is fair and sustainable for everyone.

"It was a productive day with good progress made. I look forward to meeting with the union again tomorrow."

Note:

Today’s meeting included a representative for the Minister of Internal Affairs and an independent financial advisor.
