Snapper safe

All systems were working well at the Ngai Takoto Snapper Bonanza when a young child had an accident on Wednesday morning. The 2-year-old boy was with his parents near Maunganui Bluff when he slipped and fell, breaking his arm, said Kaitaia Senior Station Officer Colin Kitchen. The Surf Life Saving team on the beach brought the youngster to the Snapper Bonanza headquarters at Waipapakauri, where an ambulance awaited. The incident showed the communications systems were working well, Mr Kitchen said.
