Thank you from Northland fire services
Our recent call for new volunteers has been a great success and we’re very proud of the response we’ve had from the community.
We’ve had numerous offers of support, which highlights the generous nature of our community. To those who have stepped up to be a volunteer, you’ve shown us a true passion to keep our communities safe. On behalf of Northland’s fire services, I thank you for stepping up when we needed you most.
We’ll always need more volunteers, so if you, or someone you know, would be interested in volunteering for Fire and Emergency New Zealand, please get in touch with your local brigade.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
