Ngā taputapu tinei ahiHe taputapu haumaru ēnei e whakamahia ana hei ārai me te whakahaere i ngā ahi. Ko tā rātou mahi matua he tere te kite i te pūtake ahi i te tīmatanga o te ahi, ā, ka tukuna aunoa, ā-ringa rānei te reo tinei ahi, kia pai ai te pehi, te tinei rānei i te ahi, kia iti ai ngā whara me ngā taonga. I taua wā anō, ka taea hoki e ia te whakaroa i te horapa o te ahi, me te hoko wā mō te whakawātea i ngā tāngata me te whakaora ahi. I ētahi taiao kāore he kaitiaki, he nui rānei te mōrearea, ka taea e ngā taputapu tinei ahi te whakarato i te tiaki i ngā āhuatanga katoa o te rangi, me te whakarei ake i te taumata haumaru whānui.

He whānui rawa ngā āhuatanga whakamahinga o ngā taputapu tinei ahi. I roto i te ao ahumahi, he maha ngā wā e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā raina whakaputa wheketere, ngā kāpata whakahaere hiko, ngā rūma tohatoha me ngā wāhi taputapu miihini hei ārai i ngā ahi hiko me ngā aituā i puta mai i te wera nui o ngā taputapu. I roto i te umanga pūngao me te matū, ka taea te whakamahi ki ngā taiao mura me ngā taiao pahū pēnei i ngā whare hinu, ngā teihana penehīni, me ngā tipu matū. I roto i te ao hanga, ko ngā wāhi tūmatanui pēnei i ngā toa hokohoko, ngā hōtēra, ngā hōhipera me ngā whare tari he maha ngā wā ka whakauruhia ki ngā pūnaha tinei ahi pūweru aunoa, ki te pūnaha tinei ahi hau rānei. Hei tāpiri, i ngā wāhi he nui ngā taputapu hiko pēnei i ngā pokapū raraunga me ngā rūma whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, he maha ngā wā ka whakamahia ngā taputapu tinei ahi hau, ki te pūnaha tinei ahi hau rānei hei ārai i te wai kei pakaru ngā taputapu. Mō te kawe waka, he whānui hoki te whakamahinga o ngā pūnaha tinei ahi i roto i ngā ara raro whenua, ngā taunga rererangi me ngā kaipuke hei whakarite i te haumaru mahi.
