Story

Blenheim Volunteer Fire Brigade was established in 1870, and is responsible for a large residential zone, a CBD with mostly light industry, Blenheim’s rural community and NZ's largest wine industry. Several major winery complexes are located within the area and are covered by the Brigade.

The Brigade offers a "Community working for the Community" programme where a Fire Risk Officer will check, change batteries and install smoke alarms in the communities homes. We have a great rapport with the community and it is not uncommon to see the Volunteers at local schools/community functions/galas/fundraisers with an appliance for the children to have a look at.
