Balmoral Fire Station

Mark Griffin from Fire and Emergency New Zealand

Good afternoon everyone
This is a notice to inform you all that the Balmoral Fire Station is closed today due to a lack of staff. This is currently a nation wide issue caused by FENZ not recruiting enough staff.
Some firefighters are working in excess of 100 hours a week to keep fire appliances available, but it is a continuous struggle to protect you the public and also spend time with family.

Fire and Emergency NZ do not pay enough to attract new staff and with the cost of living increasing, the staff we do have are either moving out of Auckland, or leaving the job all together.

Please support us by following www.firecrisis.nz...... for more information.

Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
