🔥Stay Fire Safe This Summer (Message from Fire Emergency New Zealand)

Summer is a great time for barbecues and outdoor fun, but it’s also a time to stay fire smart. Keep an eye on the BBQ while cooking, never add flammable liquids to a lit fire, and always cook outdoors.

If you’re displaying a real Christmas tree, water it regularly to prevent it drying out. Switch off tree lights before leaving home or going to bed, and dispose of your tree safely—away from the house or garage. 🎄

For caravans, install a photoelectric smoke alarm (Velcro makes it easy to remove while cooking), avoid candles, keep your escape route clear, and ensure you have a usable fire extinguisher.🧯

Before lighting outdoor fires, check the fire season and local rules at checkitsalright.nz. Keep fires stable, at least 3 metres from anything flammable, with a hose handy, and never leave them unattended.

When using fireworks, avoid windy or dry conditions, choose open areas, and keep water nearby. Stay safe and enjoy the season! 🎆

🌟 Our final TANI Chinese Support Group Kōrero for 2025 was a wonderful gathering, with 25 community members joining us!

We were joined by a guest Dietitian, who led an interactive discussion on the Mediterranean diet and shared tips on adapting it with local NZ ingredients while respecting cultural dietary practices. 🥗🥖

A senior community member shared his experience navigating aged care options after his wife’s recent surgery, prompting discussion on home care support, rest homes, retirement villages, and practical tips for falls prevention and safety. 🏡💛

The korero wrapped up with a shared lunch and networking – a perfect way to connect and celebrate our community as we close the year. 🍜🤝
