'''Fire and Emergency New Zealand''' (FENZ) |
'''Fire and Emergency New Zealand''' ('''FENZ''') is [[New Zealand]]'s main [[firefighting]] body. FENZ was established on 1 July 2017 , after the [[New Zealand Fire Service]] and the National Rural Fire Authority were merged. |
||
The creation of the FENZ is one of the largest public sector amalgamations ever undertaken in New Zealand. The [[Government of New Zealand]] is combining nearly all organisations with firefighting and fire control responsibilities into a single organisation and also giving them the legislative mandate to perform certain non-fire-related work. The result will be that more or less wherever a fire happens (or indeed most emergencies), whether in remote Fiordland or downtown Auckland, personnel from one organisation, Fire and Emergency New Zealand, will respond. And the response will be consistent, coordinated and professional.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.beehive.govt.nz/speech/speech-ufba-conference-christchurch-28-october-2016 |title=Minister Peter Dunne's speech to UFBA |website=Beehive.govt.nz |accessdate=2016-11-15}}</ref> |
|||
The establishment of FENZ is being managed by the FENZ Transition Project on behalf of the [[New Zealand Fire Service Commission]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fenzproject.co.nz |title=The Fenz Transition Project Homepage |website=Fenzproject.co.nz |accessdate=2016-11-15}}</ref> |
