Members responded to two calls almost simultaneously in the early hours. The first was a third alarm response to the Pullman Buildings, on the corner of Waterloo Quadrant and Princes Street in the Central Business District. The hotel and apartment blocks were evacuated while fire-fighters dealt with a fire in a laundry on the 6th floor of the apartments. Members closed Princes Street during operations and the mobile canteen attended to provide refreshments. Just as activities began to wind down a call was received to a collision between a car and an ambulance in Mt Roskill. Emergency Response vehicle OS1 and a crew were sent to assist and maintained traffic management while firefighters cut the driver from the car and while police began investigations into the crash. No one in the ambulance was hurt. Members were later relieved by a traffic management company.
