A cold and early start for our crews this morning, supporting brigades from across the central North Island in Taumarunui 🥶 🚒

In freezing conditions below -6°C, volunteer and career firefighters battled a fire that engulfed a row of shops in Taumarunui overnight.

Collapsed floors made the building far too dangerous to enter. Whanganui’s 17m aerial appliance responded to hit the fire from above and successfully stop it from spreading to neighbouring buildings—requiring a near 2.5-hour drive to reach the scene.

Huge respect to the crews from Taumarunui Volunteer Fire Brigade, Manunui Volunteer Fire Brigade, Ōwhango, Waimarino Volunteer Fire Brigade, Whanganui Volunteer Fire Brigade, Turangi Fire Brigade, Benneydale Volunteer Fire Brigade and Ohakune who worked seamlessly together through freezing conditions to keep the community safe.

A friendly reminder that the wind is currently auditioning for a role in Twister.

If you're out and about around Tūrangi, keep an eye out for fallen trees, branches, and other items that have decided they no longer like being where they were.

Slow down, stay alert, and if you come across a hazard, let the appropriate authorities know.

Stay safe!

Firefighters Tyler and Tommi represented Tūrangi at the 2026 Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge, tackling the 51 floors in full structural firefighting kit in an effort to raise vital funds and awareness for Blood Cancer NZ! 🧑‍🚒🎗️

The team honoured former Tūrangi Firefighter, Whaea Cheri-Lu Flight and her fight against cancer, by climbing the 1,103 steps of the Auckland Sky Tower in her memory and with her photo proudly up on the dedication wall.

They have done Cheri-Lu, our Brigade and themselves proud by raising $3,475 for Blood Cancer NZ, a cause that is very much close to our hearts. They have also kept her story and memory alive, something the brigade will also continue to do.

There's still time to donate. If you’re able to support this amazing cause, you can donate here: link.turangifire.org.nz/skytower

Not your average morning stroll! 🏔️👨‍🚒

In the early hours of yesterday morning, Tūrangi firefighters Tyler and Tommi took their training for the upcoming Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge later this month to a whole new level by tackling the Tongariro Crossing to the summit and back in full structural firefighting kit.

Approximately 16km and a lot of sweat later, every step is a reminder of why they're doing this: to raise vital funds and awareness for Blood Cancer NZ.
