Last night we celebrated the appointment of Station Officer Michael (Hemi )Woodhouse to Deputy Chief Fire Officer. Hemi has dedicated 16 years to the New Zealand Fire Service and Fire and Emergency New Zealand, serving with our brigade throughout that time. His extensive experience, along with his organisational and leadership skills, make him an excellent choice for this role. Hemi is well regarded for the way he leads and supports both the brigade and the community, and we are confident he will continue to do so in the future.

We would also like to acknowledge and sincerely thank outgoing DCFO Dwayne Thompson and his family for his significant contribution to the our Brigade as Deputy Chief Fire Officer over the past 19 years. His leadership has played a vital role in the strength of the brigade, and I am sure this will continue as he moves forward in his role as Station Officer.
Congratulations Hemi we wish you well in your new role.

🔥 Otago’s fire risk will rise sharply over the next few days with gale force north-westerly winds, high temperatures and low relative humidity expected across most of the region.
🔥 Don’t light any outdoor fires – that means no bonfires, campfires or burn piles.
🔥 Fires will be very challenging for firefighters to put out in gale force winds.
🔥 Sunday and Monday are likely to be particularly hot and windy. Any rain that falls before then is unlikely to reduce the risk significantly.
🔥 If you have had an outdoor fire over the last week, make sure it’s completely out. Don’t just look – rake out the ashes and wet them thoroughly if they’re not completely cold
🔥 Most of inland Otago is already in a restricted fire season, with fire permits required for outdoor fires. If you have a permit, you must follow the conditions.
🔥 Check the weather forecast and www.checkitsalright.nz for advice
