ActionPlease note what to do if you are approached by organisations to be involved in fundraising for Australian firefighters and victims of the bushfires. Situation
We wholeheartedly support all the fundraising for the Australian wildfires and brigades are welcome to organise their own fundraising if they choose.

Update on NZPFU DisputeLast week we attended mediation with the NZPFU regarding the proposed Employee Transition Protocol (ETP). Unfortunately, this matter was not resolved at mediation. We would like to clarify what the proposed ETP is and what it does.
Please note the allocation of relief vehicles over Christmas to replace Type 3 appliances removed from service.
We have discovered cracks in two MAN Type 3 appliances.

Fire and Emergency Comcens use Selcall (selective tone calling) to mobilise or alert fire appliances and stations. This, alongside paging, is the primary alerting method. A significant portion of the “end to end” process that allows Selcall to operate is old technology and no longer meets our needs for a modern emergency service.
Note that Draeger have changed their mask washing solution.
