Last weekend, the three Major Incident Support Teams from across Tasman came together in Murchison for an overnight training camp focused on sharpening skills and strengthening teamwork.

The goal was simple: get back to basics and ensure every team member is confident and capable in using the full range of equipment we carry. Most importantly, the weekend reinforced our shared commitment to supporting frontline staff with professionalism, efficiency, and expertise whenever an incident calls for additional support.

The training was a great success, with Marlborough, Nelson, and West Coast teams working seamlessly together, backing one another up, and building even stronger connections along the way — all while enjoying a well-earned dose of team camaraderie.

The teams are trained, prepared, and ready to assist. If you need support, don’t hesitate to call on MIST — we’re here to help!
