Employers are part of our support crew
Our volunteers’ employers who allow our volunteers to respond to call-outs make it possible for us to keep our communities safe.
Recognising our employers
Every day, businesses and organisations across New Zealand support Fire and Emergency New Zealand by allowing and supporting their employees to respond to call-outs. Employers are essential to ensuring we can continue to keep our communities safe.
We’re committed to increasing public awareness of the contribution these employers and self-employed volunteers make.
We have a programme of work to promote and recognise our employers. Check these out below.
