He kupu whakataki

E ngä mana, E ngä reo, E ngä karangatanga maha, Tënä koutou katoa

Most marae buildings pose a significant fire and evacuation risk for whänau and hapü. Some of these fires have devastating effects and remind us of the need for greater fire safety measures on the marae. We hope to address some common concerns that arise when considering fire safety for marae by providing advice and information that can help you.

We would like to meet you and see what fire dangers exist in and around your marae. From here we can discuss fire safety systems that will protect your whänau, taonga and property. We’ll also show you how to become more ‘firewise’ in and around the marae. Our goal is to help you to protect your.property so it is not lost forever.

No reira, me pupuri tätou ki ngä ähua o manaaki tangata - let us embrace the aspects of caring for one another.

Näku iti noa, na
