This weekend - February 24 and 25 - the team will brave the waters of Amberley Pool, symbolising the resilience required to navigate mental health challenges.
"As frontline responders, we witness the toll that mental health challenges take on individuals and families. We wanted to do something physically demanding to symbolise the strength needed to overcome these struggles,” Chris Reeves, one of the organising firefighters participating in the swim, said.
To kick off the fundraising initiative, the brigade will host a Gala Dinner on Friday, February 23.
Hosted by league star Richie Barnett, the event promises live music, delectable cuisine, and a live auction featuring exclusive items.
The Gala aims to raise funds for youth mental health charity I Am Hope, which currently needs $500,000 monthly to provide essential counselling services through its Gumboot Friday platform.
“The commitment and determination shown by the Amberley Fire Brigade in organising this event and taking on a gruelling challenge and organising this massive dinner is legendary. Their efforts will make a huge difference in supporting our mission to provide free counselling and mental health support to young people across New Zealand," I Am Hope founder Mike King said.
“We owe it to these amazing people in our community, like the Amberley Fire Brigade, for keeping our support going strong for kids who need it most."
Reeves encouraged local businesses and individuals to show their support by booking tables or sponsoring the event.
"This glamorous evening promises to be the highlight of the calendar, and we urge the community to join us in our mission to support mental health," he said.

About 100 people gathered at a community meeting to "fight" a proposal to create a landfill in North Canterbury.
Christchurch company Protranz Earthmoving Ltd wants to establish a landfill at its quarry at White Rock, near North Loburn, north of Rangiora.
Community meeting organiser Mike McCaleb said he was thrilled with the turnout at the Ashley Rugby Club rooms on Tuesday evening, where people expressed their opposition to the proposed landfill.
‘‘Better to have all these people to fight this thing with me, than to fight it alone from White Rock.’’
Residents at the meeting raised concerns about the risks to groundwater and the Karetu River, which a dozen households rely on for drinking and stock water.
McCaleb said he believed the quarry was unstable due to the limestone and porous rock, and the underground springs.
The prospect of more trucks driving up and down the road was also a concern, he said.
The group has set up a website to oppose the landfill [whiterock.org.nz] and was seeking environmental engineers and experts to help them.
Protranz was not invited to speak at Tuesday’s meeting.
The company recently invited neighbours to visit the site with its engineering consultants WSP.
‘‘Around 75 people showed up and it got a bit heated and unruly, so we didn’t want a repeat of that,’’ McCaleb said.
Protranz Earthmoving Ltd is seeking to restore the Whiterock Quarry, at 150 and 174 Quarry Rd, Loburn, to near its previous landform, by filling it with managed fill.
The proposed class 3 landfill would accept ‘‘inert and sorted construction and demolition waste, and contaminated soil material’’, a leaflet produced by the company says.
It would not accept uncontrolled construction and demolition waste, or municipal solid or green waste.
Protranz general manager Shaun Coakley acknowledged the concerns voiced by residents.
"I want to reassure the community that comprehensive site investigations have occurred and various technical reports will be completed, addressing factors such as stability and ground/underground (groundwater seepage) conditions."
The reports would be available as part of the consenting process.
He said the resource consent applications were being prepared to lodge with Environment Canterbury and the Waimakariri District Council.
The company proposed establishing ‘‘a relatively small" managed fill landfill 500,000 cubic metres.
He said the design exceeded best practice for the inert type of fill accepted, and there would be environmental and contingency measures.
Truck movements would be relatively low, with an average of one truck every 20 to 25 minutes, he said.
The Whiterock Quarry dates back to the 1950s.
