Happy New Year

Well, it's day two back in the office and we haven't had an emergency yet (touch wood). This time last year we had a breach of a stop bank and rivers rising in several places.

Let's start the new year with some good news... the position for Principal Rural Fire Officer has been filled and Brent Fanning will be starting with the team in early February. Fortunately the fire season so far has been much quieter than last year. Brent comes to us from Horowhenua District Council where he is currently responsible for emergency management and rural fire for the district.
