Volunteering at your local Fire Brigade is probably different from what you think.
You must be 16 years of age or over to be a volunteer. If you're not yet 18 years old, you'll need the consent of your parent or guardian. Apart from that, almost anybody can join a Brigade or Fire Force, male or female, young or old, those looking for adventure or those wanting to contribute to their community.
Depending on where you live in New Zealand we have either rural or urban fire stations.
