Tairāwhiti Crew - The mahi we do before an emergency is just as important as the mahi during one.

A great weekend at the National Training Centre in Rotorua with our volunteer firefighters and our Community Readiness and Recovery team for a Community Engagement Resource Workshop.
It was a valuable opportunity for volunteers from across our region to explore the prevention, readiness and risk reduction side of FENZ, and how we can be champions for fire safety and resilience in our own communities.
A big mihi to everyone who gave up their weekend to learn, share ideas and build their knowledge.
Together, we can help make our communities safer and more resilient.

Tomorrow, between 12pm and 1pm, members of the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union will be stopping work for one hour.

We will continue to answer 111 fire calls. Volunteer stations in the affected cities and towns will respond, as they regularly do when there are multiple emergencies.

If you are at home, do not leave cooking unattended. Make sure you have working smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and living area.

If there is a fire, get out, stay out, and call 111.

If you are at work, know your building evacuation plan. If there is a fire or the fire alarm sounds, exit the building, assemble at your safe meeting place and call 111.

If you are on a job site that uses spark or heat generating tools, we ask you to refrain from using these tools during this hour.

It is important to acknowledge that this strike action will not affect the parts of the country served by our volunteers.

Today, Pae o Te Riri (Tikitiki) and Te Waha o Rerekohu (Te Araroa) had their firefighter presentations, with some amazing pātai and whakaaro shared by our tamariki.

No doubt they’ll be taking these whakaaro home and sharing them with their whānau to help keep everyone fire safe.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou tamariki, kaiako mā!

A big shout out to our local volunteer firefighters who came to tautoko.

Whaia te mātauranga hei oranga mō tātou
Seek after learning for the sake of our wellbeing and safety.
