The Okaihau Volunteer Fire Brigade advise of the passing of Colin Mercer
As you’ll know, these days firefighters do so much alongside fighting fires. Attending motor vehicle crashes is a big part of what we do and that means we see the harsh reality of what can happen when things go wrong on our roads.
We deal with a wide range of personal information and data on a daily basis. Much of this information is about our people or people in our communities and it’s important to ensure we protect the information we collect.
This week we are celebrating New Zealand Sign Language Week at Fire and Emergency and we want everyone to give it a go.
