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.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
