About us
For more than 150 years, fire service organisations have been at the heart of New Zealand communities, protecting and preserving life and property.
In that time, the importance of our service has remained vital to our communities but our role and the types of emergencies we respond to has changed.
Climate change, new technology, and a growing, aging and diversifying population, means our communities face new challenges. Unplanned emergency events are also increasing in frequency and severity.
In 2017, Fire and Emergency New Zealand was established to bring together New Zealand's urban and rural Fire Services into one integrated, modern fire and emergency services organisation to reflect the changing roles of firefighters and meet the changing needs of our communities.
These days, we do so much more than just fight fires. We work with communities to build their resilience by helping them prepare for, respond to and recover well from emergencies.
We respond to a wide variety of emergencies including motor vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, dealing with hazardous substances, severe weather events and natural disasters. We work to reduce risk to make our communities.
