MAUNGAWHAU - MT EDEN FIRE PREVENTION PLAN
| Denise McKenzie |
|
| Democracy advisor |
18 January 2010 |
At
its 25 November 2009 meeting the Board requested that the status of the
Maungawhau/Mt Eden Fire Suppression Plan be reported to it. The Manager Parks
Service advises as follows:
"The
fire prevention plan is based on the environmental and fire fighting factors
that will influence a fire:
- The mountain is now
under a heritage vegetation management regime (non grazing)
- The land is a
combination of steep slopes and terraces
- About half of the area
has a slope of more than 25 degrees
- Steeper slopes increase
the speed of spread of a fire
- NZ Fire Service staff
are well prepared
- There is a lack of
water supply for fire fighting
- The main factors in
fire risk are: fuel loading, summer weather conditions, slope, proximity of
houses, ignition sources (cigarettes, arson, machinery ignition).
Actions taken so far in the fire prevention plan:
- Reducing the fuel load
through weed eating/manual vegetation control
- Focus on areas where
the combined risk factors of fuel, slope and proximity to houses is higher
- Set a higher grass
mowing frequency in the months from August to April
- Reduce cigarette butt
ignition risk along the roadside and tracks through manual vegetation control
- Working closely with NZ
Fire Service in the summer months
Council officers are also investigating options to improve water supply to the
upper parts of the mountain, and looking at the feasibility of using a rural
fire fighting helicopter if the need arose.
The
primary action is reducing fuel load through manual vegetation control, and this
will be ongoing throughout summer."
Recommending that the information be received.
