Scene 1. Sunday 19th June, Training Centre, First Aid Refresher Course:
CFO Glenn Teal addressing participants: "Because it's likely that other emergency workers will already be in attendance at calls our members go to, the benefits of today's first aid course will most likely pay off when we are en route to and from calls and, people needing help, flag down a passing fire service vehicle. They'll expect instant and expert attention".
Scene 2. Monday 20th June, State Highway 16, Kumeu,
Acting SSO Peter Duncan reporting an event: "Returning from a house fire at Kaukapakapa there was a 2 car crash right in front of us on State 16. We called it in to alert all 3 emergency services.
