During the Auckland floods earlier this year, some of our brigades and members of our Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team were called to Orua Bay in Manukau Heads to rescue two people trapped within a collapsed building.
A rescue drill was held at the Ports of Auckland stormwater outfall upgrade project last month. Our National Infrastructure Advisor Jon Harris was invited to observe to learn more about the project and the safety and rescue procedures in place.
Our people who are deployed internationally now have new kit bags with fit for purpose equipment to meet their needs in the wide range of environments they are sent to.
We are recruiting for Technicians and Logistics personnel for USAR. Successful applicants must have completed the CAT-1R or an equivalent course before they start the USAR CAT-2 Technicians and Logistics course.
It has been a busy few months for the Working Safely in Water Project with all the flooding events in the North Island.
As part of the rollout of the Fluorine-Free Foam Transition Project, we have been rationalising the location of our new Class B foam in line with the Flammable Liquids Incident Readiness and Response Strategy (the Strategy).
