Notwithstanding this permitted activity under the OIC.

• You remain responsible for your burn, the content and implementation of your burn plan, and your duties in relation to fire in open air under the Fire and Emergency New Zeland Act 2017
• Fire and Emergency New Zealand regulatory, enforcement and emergency response functions and power are unaffected by the Order in Council.
• A fire permit is still required when a burn plan has been developed and or advice has been received, unless the area is in an open season
