Prohibited fire season – Whanganui coast and urban area

The Manawatū-Whanganui Coastal Zone has moved to a prohibited fire season from 21 February, until further notice due to warm temperatures, drying winds and a lack of rainfall.
A prohibited fire season means no open-air fires are allowed and all fire permits are suspended.
