On behalf of the Helensville Fire Brigade, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to you both, and to the whole team at Approved Wastewater, for your very kind donation of a water tank to our brigade, valued at $3,000.

The tank was formally accepted on behalf of the brigade by Deputy Chief Fire Officer Rodger Bowring.

This generous gift will enable our brigade to carry out critical core skills training in firefighting for non-reticulated areas. Having the tank on site allows our firefighters to practice setting up hard suction, portable pumps, and other basic equipment — skills that are essential when we respond to incidents in areas without a reliable water supply.

Support like this from local businesses makes a real difference to the readiness and capability of our volunteer firefighters, and it is greatly appreciated by everyone in the brigade.

Thank you again for your generosity and your ongoing support of our community.

Kind regards,

Helensville Fire Brigade

🚨 WANTED: One unloved car 🚨

The crew at the Helensville Volunteer Fire Brigade are looking for a vehicle to donate for an upcoming training night for car cutting/extrication practice.

So if you’ve got:
✅ A car that’s failed its warrant
✅ Something taking up space in the paddock
✅ A “project car” that hasn’t moved since the last Rugby World Cup
✅ Or a vehicle your partner keeps asking “when are you getting rid of that thing?”…

…we may be able to give it one final glorious purpose 😅

The vehicle doesn’t need to run, but preferably still has doors, roof, and seats intact so our firefighters can practice realistic rescue scenarios safely.

If you’ve got something suitable, flick us a message. We’d greatly appreciate the support from the community to help keep our training sharp.

Today members of Helensville Volunteer Fire Brigade took on the Sky Tower Firefighter Challenge in support of Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand.

Climbing 1,103 steps in full firefighting gear and breathing apparatus is no easy task, but the team pushed hard for a great cause 💪🔥

A huge thank you to everyone in the Helensville community and beyond who donated and supported the cause. Your generosity helps support New Zealanders and families affected by blood cancers.

We’re proud to represent our community and stand alongside firefighters from across the country for such an important event. ❤️🚒
