A huge congratulations to our four incredible Fire Fighters — FF Jasmine Yorke, FF Sarah Newton Gardner , SFF Steve Webster & SFF Jed Moriarty — on your recent climb up Auckland's Sky Tower.

What a massive effort and an incredible achievement! We are all so very proud of you all — well done team!

Big shout out to OceanaGold Waihi, Waihi Mines Rescue & Waihi Volunteer Fire Brigade for their support to all involved 🙌 And congratulations to all of your own members on their outstanding achievements as well — an amazing effort all around!

We recently celebrated our Mayor View Fire Brigade Honours Night, where quite a number of members were recognised with Silver and/or Gold Bars for their years of dedicated service to our community.

A special congratulations goes to Firefighter of the Year, Jon Harris. Although one of the newer members of our brigade, Jon consistently gives 100% in everything he does. His dedication, work ethic, and willingness to step up make him an incredibly valued member of our team.
Congratulations Jon, and all the very best for 7-day Firefighter Course in Rotorua starting tomorrow — you’ll absolutely smash it!

We would also like to acknowledge and sincerely thank the employers of our volunteer firefighters. Their understanding, flexibility, and ongoing support in allowing members to leave work and respond to incidents plays a huge part in keeping our community safe. The commitment shown by both our firefighters and their employers does not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for the role they all play in supporting our brigade.

On ANZAC Day, we pause to honour and remember the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country.
As firefighters, we recognise the deep connection between service, courage, and community.
We stand in remembrance of those who gave so much, and in respect of those who continue to serve today.
Lest we forget.

As we head into the Easter weekend, the start of school holidays and say goodbye to daylight saving, it’s a great time to take a few simple steps to keep your home and loved ones safe.

- Don’t forget to put your clocks back Sunday 5th
- Check and test your smoke alarms, are they working?
- Take care on the roads and be alert and keep your distance.

We wish you all a safe and enjoyable Easter long weekend with family and friends and hopefully plenty of chocolate Easter eggs!!
