Hi Puhoi, while our siren didn’t sound our pagers did- 4-28 am- call out to a shed fire in Matakana where our crew got to work in BA , wielding a chainsaw no less to cut access ways as well as tasked to find and supply a water source for the umpteen fire fighters on and in the building. Once again your local boys did a great job supporting our neighbours. Sort of meant A late start to work on Monday, sorry about that.
SO russell. ( station officer)

Hi Puhoi. Huge big thanks to the puhoi pub and puhoi b**r for their awesome sponsorship of our Puhoi Fire Brigade Skytower ( Skyscreamers) climbers this year.
Thanks heaps- the cause is better off for it! (100% goes to Blood Cancer NZ) The Puhoi Skyscreamers raised over $15 k for the cause. Thanks everyone.

From the Puhoi CFO and Team Captain:
Hi Puhoi,

Another massive achievement by the Puhoi Sky Screamers last weekend, to complete the Sky Tower Fire Fighter challenge!

Climbing to the top with 25kg of fire fighting gear and breathing aparatus is no walk in the park, but the crew put in big personal efforts to get the job done, all to help raise funds and awareness for Blood Cancer NZ.
Thanks to our Brigade, local businesses, friends and family that supported us and our cause with donations and encouragement!
Our team really appreciated your generosity!
A special shout out to Puhoi Pub for being a main contributor this year!
We were very proud to wear your tshirts at the event on the day.....

Hello Puhoi,

On Monday night at our brigade meeting, we made a special presentation of Noe Santiago's UFBA 3 year service certificate to his wife Vicky, and sons Richie and AJ.....
Following the passing of our friend and colleague earlier this year, it was a pleasure to honour Noe's contribution to our Brigade officially for his family!
On behalf of our brigade I would like to give a special thank you to the United Fire Brigades Association (UFBA) for making this posthumous award possible.

Hi Puhoi. As you Might have heard-Today the siren went off twice- once to a structure ( barn/house) fire in Waitoki where we stood by and supplied water when needed and then this afternoon to another structure (house ) fire out Whangaparāoa where our crew got involved and worked in BA ( Breathing apparatus) to extinguish hot spots and monitor the fire scene until completely out. Great to be able to turn out and assist our neighbouring brigades when we can. Puts our training to test!👏

Hi Puhoi, road closed at Waiwera. Most likely all day. Watch out for land slips and falling trees in this weather.
