Can you Help
Fire brigades use Vehicle Extrication Training to practice saving lives during car crashes. Crews use specialised tools like hydraulic cutters, spreaders, and rams (often called the Jaws of Life) to systematically dismantle a car around a trapped patient.
We are on the hunt for cars, do you have one thats no longer required that you'd like to donate to the Kaiapoi Fire Brigade, so we can practice our skills.

We're racing up the Sky Tower in full firefighting kit to raise vital funds and awareness for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC).

Every day 8 children and adults in New Zealand are diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. LBC is the national charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families, this support can last months or even years.
LBC receives very little government funding, so please sponsor us and help us support this great cause.
It’s simple, fast and totally secure and LBC will email you a tax-deductible receipt.
Thank you for your amazing support!
