MEMBER PROFILE

Suzy Harris ❤️‍🔥

Role: Brigade Support (non-operational). My duties involve secretary/treasurer mahi and supporting the crew with documentation of the physical skills they are teaching/learning/practicing so they have more time to do the important hands on mahi!

Do you have any additional skills or have you attended any cool courses? I get the opportunity to attend courses that strengthen me in my role.

Years of Service: 2 and a half years

What is your day job? Early Childhood Kaiako

What brought you to join the brigade?
My family has lived in the village for 14 years, over the years I have heard the siren go off and thought of the members of our community who have stepped up to help others in their time of need. Having a lot of respect for them and having the feeling of security of knowing they are there, I dropped in on a training night to see how I could best support them to keep doing their amazing mahi.

Highlight as part of the brigade so far?
Becoming a part of our local FENZ family and helping with community events.

MEMBER PROFILE

Megan Harris 👨🏼‍🚒

Rank: Rural Firefighter and Recruit Urban Firefighter

Additional Skills: I’ve loved attending my working with aircraft course and a fire behaviour course. This was really beneficial to understand how fire behaves in a rural environment. I also respond with Lake Taupo Volunteers during the work day. 🚁

Years Of Service: 2 and a half years.

Occupation: By day I am an apprentice aluminium joiner, making windows and doors! 🚪

What brought you to become a fire fighter?
I joined because Kinloch had an open night and Taine dragged me along. I was signing the papers that night!

Highlight as a firefighter so far?
Being put forward to work the Te T**e Road fire along side the Lake Taupo Volunteer Fire Brigade where I completed two 12 hour night shifts. 🔥

Occupation: I am an Event Rider - I run my own business training horses 🐎

What brought you to become a fire fighter?
When I was in year 6 at school my neighbours house burnt down and I was the first to spot the fire and watch the whole thing unfold! This certainly sparked an interest.

My Recruits course! Such an amazing week and we had such an awesome crew there. And my first experience of live fire! 🔥

Awesome training last week getting our new recruits practicing their skills!! 🚒

Establishing water to the truck from a hydrant, setting up a ground monitor and working with fire extinguishers 🧯

A great opportunity for our new QFFs to practice their skills by teaching too!

🟠 Severe Weather Update🟡

Heavy rain and strong winds move in on Friday.

A lot of this rain will be falling on saturated soils so impacts will come about faster.

Rapidly rising rivers, surface flooding and potential slips.

🫣Oh mate, if you like to whinge about colours, you are straight up not going to have a good time with this one!

MetService New Zealand have issued a Heavy Rain Watch for pretty much all of us!

🟡Yellow everywhere🟡

The standard who, what, where, why, when, how of it all –

👉 Who – us!

👉 What – Rain! Heavy, Watch!

👉 Where – Everywhere across the district, really working on our inclusivity with this one.

👉 Why – because it’s Friday and Heavy Rain Watches seem to be a thing we do towards the end of the week.

👉 When – Good question, kicking off at 2PM Friday (tomorrow) and running through till 2AM. Really pushing these 12-hour shifts.

👉 How – It’s all coming from the west, so Australia must have something to do with it. Not sure how yet.

🤦 We know these are becoming a tiresome occurrence, but have your wits about you aye, the last few rain events we’ve had a bunch of slips across the district blocking roads and what not, plus it’s Friday at the end of the school holidays, more people on the roads and all that

🚙 Not ideal, so drive to the conditions, get your lights on, go at a comfortable pace.
