Your Local Fire Brigade Needs You!
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.
What does Volunteering for Fire and Emergency New Zealand Involve?
The role you play for Fire Emergency New Zealand depends both on the needs of your local Brigade or Fire Force and the skills that you can offer them. You can be hands-on at an emergency, or you can provide support to those who are.
You can even have a role that doesn't expose you to emergency incidents. The one aspect all roles have in common is that they require you to attend regular training nights, and that you participate in Brigade activities.
