Yesterday was International Men’s Day!
But… our social media admin got distracted, and multitasking isn’t our strongest trait, so the post is arriving fashionably late!

Today we want to give a huge THANK YOU to all the men who make up part of the Te Aroha Volunteer Fire Brigade and to all the awesome men across our community.

Thanks for the hard work, the early wakeups, the late-night callouts and the endless commitment to keeping Te Aroha safe.

Happy (belated) International Men’s Day, fellas!

Tonight the Te Aroha Volunteer Fire Brigade had the pleasure of thanking Aaron Haddon for his generous donation and incredible support of our crew.
Aaron Haddon Builders Limited recently celebrated its 30th birthday and as part of marking this milestone, Aaron chose to give back to the community he’s been part of for so long.

We’re truly grateful for his kindness and for taking the time to come down this evening so we could thank him in person. Congratulations on 30 years in business, Aaron - and thank you for helping us continue to serve Te Aroha.

As we head into summer this is our reminder of how quickly and how devastating fire can be on our whenua.

Take extra care this summer, before you light or do spark and heat generating activities, use our ‘Can I light a fire?’ tool at checkitsalright.nz

As evening falls, we pause to acknowledge the incredible Fire and Emergency, Police, Iwi, DOC and local council Civil Defence teams who have worked tirelessly and continue to work at the Tongariro National Park fire.

Our thoughts and aroha are with all those affected and displaced by this fire.

Please take extra care if you’re using fireworks tonight. We’d prefer people didn’t set them off. But if you are using them tonight, please do it safely.

- Check the fire risk at www.checkitsalright.nz before lighting anything.
- Only use fireworks on private property, away from dry grass, trees and buildings.
- Always have a hose or bucket of water ready.
- Soak used fireworks before disposing of them.

If grass or vegetation catches fire – call 111 immediately.

The weather’s warming up and we’re starting to see an increase in fires around our area.
If you’re lighting a fire, make sure you’ve notified FireCom first. It only takes a minute and can help avoid unnecessary callouts to your fire.
