FIRE BRIGADE REPORT

The Brigade has been very steady with calls recently including our response to a tragic house fire, the Brigade extends our sympathies to the family at this difficult time.

We have started the Medical First Responder training for our Brigade members, and are still looking for more people :

• MEDICAL RESPONDERS – If you have a Nursing, Emergency Medicine,  Paramedic or similar background (you may qualify for a short familiarisation course), and want to contribute to your community, we would love to hear from you . We anticipate you would only spend 2 – 3 days a month on call along with a single night a month training. 

Act now,  email our Chief –  Jacob.hawkins@fireandemergency.nz

• FIRE FIGHTERS – If you ever thought about seeing what happens when the siren sounds and see the team rushing in, have you thought being a fire fighter might be interesting ? We would love for you to pop down on our Tuesday training nights, we are especially interested if you are available during the week days to respond.

The Brigade is here for the Community and it is wonderful when our Community gives back, we would especially like to thank local business owners Malcolm @ Locks and Keys (your local locksmith) and Nigel along with his Team from Country Mile Decorating for their generous donations of time, skills and materials., we really appreciate them, please support them if you can.

REMEMBER – Our Chief, Jake Hawkins has offered to answer any questions you have if you think you see smoke or fire and are unsure whether you should act, or if you may have concerns about whether we are responding to a 111 call for help –

Jake is available  on his phone – 0272-559-440 and available 24 hours.
