Due to the situation in Christchurch, FENZ is making some precautionary changes to emergency response procedures.
FENZ has advised the NZPFU they will be notifying all on duty crews of the changes which will be in place until further notice.
Our thoughts are with all affected by this horrific incident.
We send our support to all emergency responders and their families.
We will update members should any new information be made available.
In unity,
Wattie Watson
National Secretary
Please read to the end.
Members should be aware that District Manager Mackereth has unilaterally made the decision to remove the Hazmat Command Appliance from immediate response to confirmed structure fire incidents for incidents in Auckland City Central Fire District.
Members may be aware that the Local has raised a dispute around the way FENZ’s wants to transition Papakura Station to a Senior Station Officer Station. This proposal would directly impact 10 personnel and indirectly impact over 120.
