For those who heard the loud explosions on Coastal Heights early this morning, here’s what happened. At approximately 0215 this morning, an electrical transformer exploded outside number 16 Coastal Heights. This resulted in a small fire that sustained itself until fire fighters arrived. Luckily the fire did not spread, largely due to the recent rain we’ve had.

The transformer was a single phase type meaning some houses will be without power until it is replaced - roughly every third house on the streets that it supplied.

It’s important not to approach an electrical fire, as street level voltages can be much higher than that in your home, and electricity can jump from the source to bystanders. These fires should only be dealt with by fire fighters, who have special equipment and training.

Good time of the year to start thinking about weather changes coming.

🌱 Spring's just getting started, but we're already thinking ahead to summer - here's why.

You've probably seen the headlines by now - El Niño's been confirmed for summer 2026/27, and it's shaping up to be one of the strongest on record.

For Tāmaki Makaurau, that could mean reduced rainfall, increased wildfire risk, hotter-than-average temperatures, and stronger winds.

🏖️You don’t have to abandon your summer plans, but now's a good time to prepare.

That's why we've pulled together our El Niño Information Hub, so you've got all the trusted advice in one place👉 aem.govt.nz/heat

Do you have a plan?

When an emergency happens, it's often too late to start thinking about what you would do.

Having a simple household emergency plan can make a big difference. Take a few minutes to talk with your family:
✅ How will you contact each other?
✅ Where will you meet?
✅ What supplies do you have on hand?
✅ Does everyone know the plan?

It's not about being perfect—it's about being prepared.

A little preparation today can bring a lot more confidence tomorrow.
