Big Three contest brigade fund raiser

Hundreds of dollars in cash and prizes are on offer in the Tirau Volunteer Fire Brigade’s Big Three hunting and fishing competition.

There are cash prizes for the heaviest and for the average weight deer, boar and snapper caught or shot between September 25 and 27. There’s also a free competition for children under 13 with prizes for the heaviest possum, eel and rabbit or hare.


Tirau Volunteer Fire Brigade hosts a hunting and fishing competition next month.

First response
“We have a memorandum of understanding with St John which doesn’t have an ambulance station in Tirau that our volunteers will be first responders in an emergency. All our crew are trained in first aid including CPR, and both our vehicles carry defibrillators,” says Tristan.

The brigade currently has 15 members but would like to recruit three to four more, especially people who can respond to day time call out.

“There’s a lot of support for fire brigade volunteers with full uniforms, training provided and compensation for loss of wages while people are undergoing training. It’s not too onerous as we are not that busy but it’s vital to our local community that we have the service here to respond to emergencies.”
