Hi Neighbours,
The Fire Service is there for you when you need them and now they are calling on your generosity to help.

The Puhoi Volunteer Rural Fire Force has spent the last decade operating out of a temporary lean-to station.

Constructed out of two shipping containers and a roof, the DIY station is home to the fifth busiest rural brigade in the country.

Assisting at around 100 callouts annually, the 14-strong brigade has outgrown its dusty abode and is very close to reaching its fundraising target for a brand new station.

But it's not there yet. Can you help? Go to givealittle.co.nz...
