New Redwood Fire Station opened
This morning the new Redwood Fire Station opened on Styx Mill Road. It's the 8th of 12 new stations being built in Christchurch. It replaces the Cranford St station, has 2 appliance bays and should serve the next 50+ years.
We appreciate immensely the work Fire Emergency do, along with all our First responders- we all know how much we have relied on them in recent years.
The National Commander Paul McGill opened the station and with 39 years service is retiring this week.
We have a local legend, in the form of Tony Swayne a veteran of 48 years service and still going strong on the front line. The writer of several books on local history, he is writing a book on the Ballantynes' fire of 1947 which killed 47 people.
