Volunteer Fire Brigade in Patumahoe
The New Zealand Fire Service (NZFS) is a large organisation spread geographically throughout NZ, comprising of five different regions with around 450 stations and approximately 8,300 Volunteer Firefighters and 1,699 Career Firefighters spread throughout the country.
The nature of the emergencies we attend are as varied as the people who call for us. Our communities rely on our people being professionally prepared and capable to respond whenever they are called upon.
In the past year there was around 63,000 incidents attended by the fire service, but there's more to us than responding to emergencies; firefighters spend time helping our communities prevent unwanted fires through delivering education programmes, working with building owners and other community focused work.
About 80% of operational firefighters are volunteers and many parts of the country are almost solely reliant on volunteer fire brigades to respond to emergencies in their community.
Without the contribution of volunteer firefighters, there would be no local fire brigades to respond to emergencies.
