The history of the Tauranga Fire Brigade goes back more than 100 years. The Fire brigade was formed in 1874, and it soon collapsed for want of support. The year 1882 was significant as that was when a volunteer brigade was formed, a fire inspector appointed, the necessary engines and equipment purchased and a fire bell erected. From 1882 until 1909 the brigade was an on again off again affair. Tauranga has had a continuous Fire Brigade since 1909.

A parliament petition has been put together by one of our members, from the Queenstown Volunteer Fire Brigade, to change the ACC legislation to give volunteer firefighters the same ACC coverage and benefits as their paid colleagues.

We are proudly supporting our members’ initiative, as it has strong alignment with the UFBA’s Strategic Priority on our Fairness and Equity Campaign to get volunteer firefighters more coverage under ACC.

Here is the link to the petition: https://petitions.parliament.nz/5872f736-ed2f-443c-f919-08dd5b668762 (closes 30 April 2025)

Please show your support by signing the petition and share this through your networks, on your brigades' social media and with your friends, families, and colleagues.

The UFBA will continue to advocate at a national political level, but as one of the 12,000 volunteer firefighters, it is you who can drive this change from the ground up. The aim is that our combined efforts mean we will meet in the middle on the doorstep of the decision-makers.

More information on the petition and background details on the ACC issue can be found on our website - https://www.ufba.org.nz/news/members-petition-change-acc-legislation

Please take note. You must have a permit from the 4th and abide by all its conditions. Please if you see Fire or Smoke call 111. We have had 3 vegetation fires lately. One significant, which just shows how dry it is.

We request if you dont need to burn please wait until we come out of a Fire Restriction / Ban in due course.

Please dont be upset even if you have a permit and we feel the fire is unsafe we may still extinguish it.

Thanks for your understanding.
