This National Notice is an update on the National Safety Notice 042/2018.
Important information for Area Managers, Principal Rural Fire Officers and frontline personnel about the new emergency medical response kit roll out and online training resources to complete.
This National Notice contains information for rostered Firefighters and Communications Centre employees.
The Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system is going to be upgraded. Ensure all personnel are aware of the procedure to follow.
The Communication Centres are preparing for a significant system upgrade. To prepare for that upgrade, testing of all Fire and Emergency New Zealand ComCen interfaces must be carried out ahead of time. All operational personnel must carry their allocated pagers for turnout.
The New Zealand Professional Firefighters’ Union has alleged that money is being diverted from frontline rescue firefighting equipment to fund the integration process. This statement is incorrect.
As medical co-responders, firefighters require the training to carry out their medical response role and can work with the equipment on Fire and Emergency appliances. Training provided by St John exceeds that provided on public or workplace first aid courses, because firefighters are responding as medical responders
This year we will be closed over the Christmas and New Year period. You will be required to take annual leave during this time, unless you are rostered operational staff
St John and Wellington Free Ambulance (WFA) have further reviewed the reprioritisation process since the previous national notice was published. This notice replaces National Notice 016/2018. The details of the national notice 16/2018 remain accurate, but now include an additional RED category associated with their response determinants.
