Career firefighter staffing at 'crisis levels' across Auckland, union says

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

Staffing of career firefighters is at “crisis levels” throughout Auckland, resulting in trucks being out of commission, the NZ Professional Firefighters Union says.

In a post shared to Facebook, the union warned residents of the central Auckland suburb of Mount Roskill that there were no firefighters working at their local station because of the lack of career firefighters available.

“Career firefighter staffing levels throughout Auckland continue to be at crisis levels,” the post said.

How does 9 days without your phone sound?

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, I was lucky enough to spend 9 days recently training in mindfulness - no phone, no news, almost no talk - just paying attention to my experience, at a peaceful off-grid centre in the Coromandel.

It was pretty amazing, but I don't suggest you try that length at first, what about starting with an hour?

Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace. The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.

Next one is on Tue 7th of May 1 - 2.15pm, Meadowbank Community Centre. Come and see what it is like! Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485

Meet Sammy! Initially, he was a bundle of nerves during grooming sessions. But now, he's all smiles and wagging tails! It's indeed heartwarming to see him enjoying the pampering. 😊🐩💕
