Puhoi Rural Fire Force is an amazing team of currently 14 female and male volunteer firefighters who are on call 24/7 in order to protect the Puhoi and greater rural community.

Our volunteer firefighters respond to...
Vegetation and Structure Fires
Medical Call Outs
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Search and Rescue
Police Emergencies
Storm and Flood Damage
Hazardous material spills

and emergencies outside of our area
to help others in need
whenever our services are requested

As well as responding to more than 600 callouts in the Rodney area since 2007, Puhoi Rural Volunteer firefighters have responded to calls of assistance from as far afield as
the Christchurch Earthquake in 2011
The Great Barrier Island Fire of 2013
and the Australian wildfires in Victoria several times
in the past few years.

Puhoi Rural Fire Force Needs You...

Learn new skills at the same time as contributing in a meaningful and positive way to your community. It’s also a chance to meet new people and gain transferable skills and qualifications.

The knowledge that you’re caring, in a very practical way, for your own community is immensely rewarding. The satisfaction gained from helping your neighbours when they really need a hand, makes the commitment well worthwhile.

Your contribution to the Puhoi Volunteer Fire Brigade would be welcomed and would help make your Community safer.
