News Story
Today is International Volunteer Day, an initiative led by the UN, and for our brigade the special day began at midnight with our members engaged at 3 different incidents spread across Greater Auckland, our area of operations. Two were long-duration jobs. First a 2-car head-on crash on State Highway 16 at Riverhead which left 2 people seriously hurt and another 2 with lesser injuries. Then the brigade was responded to Highland Park in East Auckland to assist at the scene of hit and run accident... a woman walking her bicycle along the median strip was critically injured when she was knocked down by an SUV which did not stop. Minutes later the 3rd call was paged, to a house fire in Mt Roskill.
After this most appropriate launch to Volunteer Day members were out on the job again this afternoon, to a second alarm house fire in Avondale.
Volunteering...it's what we do!
