Today, we proudly stand with fire services around the world to recognise International Firefighters’ Day.

Here at our brigade, we’re incredibly proud of our team. Whether responding to emergencies, supporting our community, or training to stay ready, their dedication never goes unnoticed.

To our firefighters, volunteers, and support crews—thank you for your service, your resilience, and your unwavering commitment.
We also extend our appreciation to the families and employers who support our members—your role is just as vital.

Take a moment today to reflect, remember, and show your support.

🔥 Stay safe. Stay ready. 🔥

Today, on ANZAC Day, we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who came before us.

As firefighters, we understand the meaning of standing together, answering the call, and serving something greater than ourselves. The spirit of the ANZACs lives on in every act of bravery, teamwork, and commitment to protecting our community.

We honour those who served and those who continue to serve.

Lest we forget.

🚨 This says it perfectly… and it’s no different here in Hanmer. 🚨

When the siren sounds in Hanmer Springs, it’s your neighbours, workmates, friends and family responding — leaving dinners, jobs, warm beds and busy lives to answer the call.

Behind every callout is a team of local volunteers juggling everyday life to be there when our community needs us most. Some jobs are quick. Some are long. Some stay with you. But we always reset, restock, and get ready to do it all again.

That’s volunteer life.❤️

We train every Tuesday night at 7pm, and we’re always keen to welcome new members — especially if you’re available during the day.

If you’ve ever thought about joining, come down to the station on a Tuesday at 7pm for a chat. No pressure, just a chance to see what we’re about and ask questions.

Your community needs you. 🚒🔥

This weekend is set to be a scorcher! 🌞💨

That comes with Extreme Fire Danger though. So to ensure everyone is safe over the weekend we are suspending all active fire permits from 11:59pm Friday 9th January until 08:00 Monday 12th January.

We are encouraging everyone to do the following over the weekend:
❌ Do not light any fires during this time.
🕵Check on any previous burn piles - even if they are over a week old
🌾People should be careful carrying out any hot works, or works that cause sparks, including mowing lawns in the cooler parts of the day like the early morning (sorry neighbours)
🔥If you see any smoke or flames, call 111 immediately!

We are still in a Restricted Fire Season, so if you are planning to light a fire after this weekend go to www.checkitsalright.nz and apply for a permit. All permits that were suspended will be active again after 08:00am Monday 12th January.

Please celebrate safely, look after one another, and help us keep everyone safe.

Today is International Volunteer Day — a chance for us to say a huge thank you to all of our Fire and Emergency whānau who give up their time to volunteer for us. 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒🔥

On behalf of the Hanmer Springs Fire Brigade, thank you — and thank you also to the whānau and employers (including those who are self-employed) who enable us to serve. Your support makes a real difference.

We value all your mahi, and the role you play in keeping our communities safe — day in and day out. ❤️

🔥 Training Night on the Waiau River 🔥

Last night the team had an awesome session out on the Waiau River, putting our water rescue skills to the test. We spent the evening practising throw-bag techniques and rescuing “patients” from the river — great training in a real-world environment.

A massive thank you to Marc and Hanmer Springs Attractions for the use of their facilities and the jet boat. Your support makes training like this possible, and we truly appreciate it!
