Thread: Vol Fire crew, who is one?

Volly- 5 Years- QFF at WVFB North Canterbury

4.5 years in Wairoa whilst doing auto electrical apprenticeship... Cyclone Bola we where on call for two weeks. Averaged 120 calls a year Our area was huge Halfway to Napier and Gisborne. All up to Waikaremoana and the Ruakituri valley.... With the ammonia refrigeration at the freezing works and 4 large LPG storage facilities we had good crews training and gear.... Then I Transferred to a rural brigade top of the south island.... Oh dear! Dads army......

Gidday Team. Nearly 7 years with Ruakaka - Northland. Just moved to Geraldine - Canterbury and will be making inquiries to join here as well. Anyone else in my neck of the woods keen for a beer it'd be great to catch up.

Finished up as SO last year after just over a decade as an urban volly, Featherston then Carterton brigade. Since took me over 6 months to get used to the sound of the siren spooling up without jumping up ready to bolt! Still miss the comradery but not the 3am low battery pager beeps!

Last weekend completed the Lead a Vegetation Crew course. So I'm now a qualified crew leader :-)

Gday everyone. I have recently joined the volly fire brigade in Ohai, Southland. Really enjoying it so far. Is proving to be a good way to connect to the community.
