News Story
The brigade had a busy weekend, what with many call-outs as well as its Honours Evening, held on Saturday night.
There were 4 calls on Friday beginning with a fire in a Mt Roskill laundromat which seriously damaged the premises. This was followed by a blaze in a Ponsonby takeaway shop and an outbreak in a garage at Goodwood Heights where it was first thought there might be people trapped inside. Friday night ended after a turnout to a car crash in Papatoetoe. Saturday evening's responses were to a car crash in St Johns and another in Mangere. The latter call came in during the Brigade's Honours Ceremony: the duty crew responded direct from the venue, Sorrento. Sunday morning the Brigade was called to a 3 car collision at the busy intersection of Great South Road and Ron Wood Avenue in Manukau, followed later in the day by a garage fire on Mt Wellington Highway and a call to Onehunga. Members were turned back when smoke issuing from a service station there was found to be a false alarm.
