MetService Wind Warning upgraded to Orange for the Waikato area.

Forecast: Severe gale northeast winds gusting 120km/h in exposed places, especially in lee of the Kaimai-Mamaku Ranges this evening.

A reminder to tie down those trampolines and to call 111 in an emergency.

We understand people in our community are concerned about the impact of the Middle East conflict on fuel, and it may be tempting to store extra fuel on your property. Fire and Emergency does not recommend this.

Fuel is a highly flammable substance, and storing large quantities of it comes with serious fire danger.
A fire involving fuel spreads rapidly and releases a lot of heat. Even a small spill can cause a devastating fire that will spread incredibly quickly.

Got a fire hydrant near your place? It might need you 👀

Around town you’ll notice little clues like yellow lines on the footpath or blue reflectors on the road - those mark where hydrants are tucked away.

Over time, they can get covered up by grass, gardens or weeds… and that’s where you come in.

A quick trim or tidy can make a huge difference. If something’s not right, like it needs paint or the lid’s gone missing, a quick heads-up to Matamata-Piako District Council helps keep things in working order.

When we arrive at a fire, being able to spot a hydrant straight away means we can get water on fast and get to work.

If you give one a bit of TLC, chuck a photo in the comments, we’d love to see it 👇

Did you see these amazing locals in this weeks newspaper?

A huge thank you to Pam and Daryl Parker for their incredible support of the Te Aroha Fire Brigade through their Turning Up The Heat, Christmas Eve fundraising event last year.

Over just a couple of days, they raised an outstanding $1,380 and handed out more than 800 ice blocks to the community. What an awesome effort!

This morning, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from Elstow Waihou School to the station.

Stu and Tomsie showed the group around our rescue tender, giving them a closer look at the gear and what we do. As always, the highlight for many was getting hands-on and holding a hose.

Thanks for coming to visit us, team 🙂
