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