We want everyone to have a happy and safe Diwali. By taking a few simple precautions, you will reduce fire risks for yourself and your family.

Sky lanterns, also known as Chinese lanterns, are popular at festivals, weddings and remembrance ceremonies. They can pose a significant fire risk, especially when released.

Boats are a big part of the traditional Kiwi summer. Make sure you read up on using your boat safely, so that you can have fun without increasing your risk of fire. 

If you use rural land for leisure and recreation, you need to be aware of the risks of fires in forests, parks and rural areas.
