852 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE [No. 30

PART X—SMALL URBAN AREAS

Under section 8 (m) of the Act the Council is required to develop the Fire Service particularly in the smaller urban areas, and since the inception of the Act many applications have been received from local authorities for the constitution of secondary urban fire districts. Before acting on these the Council has examined how far existing fire brigades could provide cover over a larger territory. To this end the out-district scheme provides for:

(a) A protected area to a radius of five miles from existing fire stations and up to ten miles where service can be rendered, and

(b) For agreements under the existing registration facilities for protection of any isolated properties.

Outside the limits of those extended areas are many rural centres not provided with protection for which the Council has introduced a lower category of fire risk classification and has outlined the minimum brigade organization and equipment required for such districts. It is envisaged that such of these small urban districts (to be classified as Class F districts) as are situated sufficiently near to an existing fire brigade will be brought under the control of an established urban fire authority and will be assisted in the training and organization of auxiliary units by established brigades. The objective is to provide fire protection service on as wide a basis as is practicable, having regard to the life and property risks existing.

PART XI—FIRE STATISTICS

Under section 8 (c) and (d) of the Act the Council is required to collate information on the activities of fire brigades in relation to fire and other operations attended, not only for statistical purposes but also to enable it to initiate research into fire service methods, equipment, and organization, and to publish reports, information, and advice on fire service matters. To do this, it requires amongst other things, statistical information in regard to fires and other occurrences attended, the methods used for extinguishment, the materials involved, loss of life and casualties. A fire report form designed to assist the Council in the compilation of fire statistics is now available and brigades are required to complete this form in respect of each call received and to forward it immediately to the Council.

Issued by authority of the Fire Service Council.
