If an emergency happens, you know they’re here to help.

If your property catches fire or you’re in a car crash, it is the volunteers and career firefighters of Fire and Emergency New Zealand who come running to help.

As soon as that siren goes, they drop what they’re doing and put your safety first.

Behind our tremendous volunteers are another group of community heroes, who get less attention but are vital to Fire and Emergency.

It’s the employers and co-workers who support our volunteers at work, knowing that at any moment they may need to leave and respond to a crisis.

Did you know Fire and Emergency give recognition to the local businesses who support this important work with the Proud Employer mark?

Look out for this mark on businesses in your community or find out which of your local businesses are Proud Employers of Fire and Emergency volunteers here.

And you can show your support for our hardworking fire crews by making a comment on this post – why not share a tribute you would like to make to our firefighters.

Pictured here are four of the 12,000 volunteers who work across the country. Left to right: Marshall (Marsh) Anderson, Jarrad West, Iain Powell, and Marsh’s brother Ti Anderson. All work at Fonterra and volunteer for the local fire brigade.

Thousands of people have yet to vote in a by-election to decide who will be Christchurch’s next city councillor.

Just 23 per cent (3891) of the 16,751 eligible voters living in the Coastal ward, which stretches from Brooklands to Southshore, have so far ticked a box.

Seven candidates – Kelly Barber, Celeste Donovan, David East, Katie Hays, Andre Hopman, Caleb Isaacs and Nitro Nikora – are vying for the seat left vacant by James Daniels who left in July to co-host a radio show.

Voting closes at midday on Friday and if people want to post their forms, they need to do so by Tuesday to make sure it gets to the council’s Civic Offices in time, electoral officer Jo Daly said. Read more here.
