If an emergency happens, you know they’re here to help.

If your property catches fire or you’re in a car crash, it is the volunteers and career firefighters of Fire and Emergency New Zealand who come running to help.

As soon as that siren goes, they drop what they’re doing and put your safety first.

Behind our tremendous volunteers are another group of community heroes, who get less attention but are vital to Fire and Emergency.

It’s the employers and co-workers who support our volunteers at work, knowing that at any moment they may need to leave and respond to a crisis.

Did you know Fire and Emergency give recognition to the local businesses who support this important work with the Proud Employer mark?

Look out for this mark on businesses in your community or find out which of your local businesses are Proud Employers of Fire and Emergency volunteers here.

And you can show your support for our hardworking fire crews by making a comment on this post – why not share a tribute you would like to make to our firefighters.

Pictured here are four of the 12,000 volunteers who work across the country. Left to right: Marshall (Marsh) Anderson, Jarrad West, Iain Powell, and Marsh’s brother Ti Anderson. All work at Fonterra and volunteer for the local fire brigade.

Pioneering a new way of living

The people who live in Ryman villages remain true to themselves, whether that’s continuing with their passion, making the most of every minute, challenging themselves to learn something new, or surrounding themselves with people who like to have fun.
As Lynette, a resident at Edmund Hilary village, says “A lot of people still believe that you're going to a rest home. They don't know the concept of a retirement village. You go there, it's beautiful. You've got facilities. You've got activities. And you don't stop living.”
Retirement is a chapter of life that’s filled with possibility. Choose the lifestyle you want to live and proudly embrace every opportunity. It’s what Ryman residents do.

Oil going up , so is petrol

John from East Invercargill

Anyone that fills the tank will know that petrol prices have been going up so I thought I would let people know that don't follow the international oil market that they can expect further increases at the pump.

There was a drop last month… View moreAnyone that fills the tank will know that petrol prices have been going up so I thought I would let people know that don't follow the international oil market that they can expect further increases at the pump. Last October Brent oil was 37 USD , today it is 82 USD. There was a drop last month down to 65 but added 15 $ last two weeks. The US Department of Energy ( DoE ) have decided not to tap into the strategic reserves which may have taken a "little" pressure off. The cost of international gas has risen dramatically recently to around the equivalent of 200 USD a barrel so many industries are switching from gas to oil which is putting more upward pressure on the oil price. With the Northern hemisphere heading into winter there is again an increased demand for heating oil. All points to further increases at our pumps. This is not a definitive and exact look at the oil market but a basic heads up of what we can expect over the next few months so those that bother can prepare for an increase in their weekly fuel bills along side increases in food transport costs . How much will that be I don't know but another 10- 15 cents per litre should not be a surprise in the next few weeks and leading up to Christmas .. Saudi Arabia have an expensive war with Yemen to pay for plus guaranteed dividends for Aramco and Russia will be quite happy to make some more from their oil in face of various sanctions from the US so I don't expect any love and caring coming from that direction to force the price down.
