Fire Season

Open: Fires may be lit in open air, without restriction.
Restricted: Lighting a fire is riskier than usual. A fire permit is required for most fire types
Prohibited: Lighting fires in the open air is not permitted. Existing fire permits are suspended, though fire permits may still be granted in exceptional circumstances.

All fires are restricted on Department of Conservation land. Check if you need a permit at FENZ

Fire Danger

Extreme: Any outbreak of fire is extremely serious! All fires are potentially serious and will easily become uncontrollable, unpredictable and fast moving. These fires are very difficult to fight and may become very dangerous and often last for several days.
Very high: Outbreak of fire is very serious! Fires will start easily and will spread rapidly and burn intensely right after ignition. Small fires can quickly become large fires and show extreme fire behaviour. These fires can be difficult to control and will often become much larger and longer-lasting fires.
High: Outbreak of fire is serious! Fires can start easily and control becomes increasingly more difficult the longer the fire is left.
Moderate: Control of fires is reasonably easy. Fires are not likely to become serious and are often easy to control if attended to quickly.
Low: Wildfires are unlikely. Ignition may take place near large and prolonged heat sources but the resulting fires generally do not spread much. Control of fires is generally easy.
