Tsunami Alert: All of New Zealand waits. Including HVFP.
- 4 Mar 2010
- Hutt Valley Fire Police Unit
- No doubt most New Zealanders are aware of the Tsunami Alert that we were under for much of Sunday 28 February after the major Major Earthquake off the coast of Chile. Hutt Valley Fire Police Unit were paged shortly after 0400hrs Sunday, to respond to the Hutt Valley Emergency Management Office in Lower Hutt. Once there, along with the the NZ Police, The crew of HUTT407 and members of both the Upper and Lower Hutt Volunteer Rural Fire Forces (which are council directed assets, and thus part of Civil Defence planning), plans were made to close off public access to the roads immediately adjacent Wellington Harbour (aka Marine Drive, and the Esplanade, between Eastbourne and Petone). With the safety of the public foremost in the minds of HVEMO, and with the expectation of a wave height of no more than 1 meter, this was the biggest area of concern.

Summer Fire Season is Here
- 12 Jan 2010
- Wellington City Council

Wellington City Rural Fire Force
- The Wellington Regional Council formed the WCRFF in 1993. Originally the Force shared residence with the Wellington Free Ambulance at Newtown. The Force moved to its’ own station in Burma Road Johnsonville, in December 1999 and stayed there for 3 ½ years. As the crew numbers increased and the purchase of the tanker the Wellington City Council moved our location to Tawa Depot on the 12th July 2003. Our current station gives us the opportunity to increase our crew numbers to our desired benchmark of 30 as well as housing our entire fleet, which currently consists of 6 vehicles, 4 trailers and a Communication Caravan.
