News Story
Our very busy week continues... with 2 more call-outs in the past 24 hours. The first was to a motor vehicle accident on Great South Road, Greenlane, where a car was in collision with a parked car which in turn was shunted into a power transformer. Damage meant oil leaked out, deemed to be a fire hazard until electricity was turned off. Members managed traffic on busy Great South Road until the scene was declared safe. Tonight our Brigade is repeating its role in scene safety at Sabulite Road, Kelston, where a large tree-branch has fallen blocking the roadway. There have been 19 responses by the Brigade in the past 7 days, the busiest being Wednesday with 6 calls, ably demonstrating the range of incidents we turn out to... a house fire at Mangere East, a large shed containing cars on fire at Mangatawhiri, a hazardous chemical event at Lynfield, a gas leak at Mt Roskill, a restaurant on fire at Kumeu and a fatal motor accident at Ranui.
