Anyone who wants to light an outdoor fire in the Gisborne / Tairāwhiti area will now need to apply for a permit.
Principal Rural Fire Officer Ray Dever said it has been hot and bone dry.
"Recent hot conditions have meant it's very dry in Tairāwhiti. There is a lot of dry vegetation around which, when combined with the heat, could cause a fire to spread very quickly.
"It's important anyone in Tairāwhiti, residents or visitors, follow the fire season. Apply for a permit if you want to light an outdoor fire. If you have a permit, follow the conditions listed on it," he said.
