Special day?? 🤔

YES!!

Happy Mothers day to every Mum out there. We hope you have an incredible day with family and friends, hopefully you all get to kick back and relax!

All of us wouldn't be here if it weren't for a Mum, including our brigade members.
The Mum's of the Kakanui Volunteer Fire Brigade are incredible, from juggling work, children and much more, they still have time to put in as much as they can volunteering for us.
We couldn't be more thankful for the Super Mum's 🦸 🤱 of the station.

On behalf of everyone here; Happy Mothers Day everyone!!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Lest we forget.

This weekend is daylight saving which means it's the perfect time to check your smoke alarms!
How do you test your alarm??
Well, sound the alarm by pressing the button, give them a dust or a vacuum and make sure you have a smoke alarm where you sleep! https://www.fireandemergency.nz/home-fire-safety/smoke-alarms/

Stay safe Kakanui!!
