Kua kaingia ētahi o ngā whare whakamarumaru, o Mana Āriki Marae, he marae mō ngā iwi katoa, i Taumarunui e te ahi.
E matapaetia ana e te Tarahiti o te Marae, i hika te ahi, i te whā karaka i te ata, ā, ahakoa kāhore anō te Ope Tihei Ahi kia mutu i tāna rīpoata, kāhore hoki rātou mo te kī mehemea he ahi hihira tēnei.
Hei ta Paul Tai, māngai mō te Tarahiti o Te Marae, e ngaukino ana te ngākau i te mamae, i te ngarohanga o ngā whare whakamarumaru nei, tā te mea, he mea tapa ērā whare ki ētahi ingoa tūpuna whakahī.
I karangatia rā te ope patu ahi i te rima karaka i te ata, nō te poupoutanga o te rā, he aromatawai i ngā waihotanga, he aha hoki i hika ai te ahi, tā rātou mahi.
E matapaetia ana e te Tarahiti o te Marae, i hika te ahi, i te whā karaka i te ata, ā, ahakoa kāhore anō te Ope Tihei Ahi kia mutu i tāna ripoata, kāhore hoki rātou mō te kī mehemea he ahi hihira tēnei.
