http://www.stokesvalleyfire.org.nz/index.php/call-outs/53-monthly-reports/123-monthly-call-out-stats-august-2013 During the month of August, Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade responded to a total of 13 incidents.  We attended six fires, from the very small (a smoking light-fixture) to the extremely large "4th Alarm" factory fire in Petone on the 23rd August.  We also attended four medical emergencies during the month and there were three false alarms. Even with another fairly significant (magnitute 6.6) earthquake on 16th August, the Wellington region seemenly dodged another bullet and the brigade had absolutely no earthquake-related incidents to attend to.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that that remains the case for many, many years to come!

The storm that hit the region back in June kept the brigade much busier than the recent earthquake did, which, in a funny kind of way, is probably a good thing (considering the utter devastation that the people down in Canterbury have had to deal with). The brigade were called out to just two earthquake-related incidents, including one to Hutt Hospital. stokes-valley places emergencyservices Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stokesvalleyfire.org.nz/index.php/call-outs/53-monthly-reports/120-monthly-call-out-stats-july-2013 Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade 2013-07-31T00:00:00Z -41.1732761 174.9831915 Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://www.stokesvalleyfire.org.nz/index.php/brigade-news/latest-news/43-website-updates/66-take-3 After our longest hiatus yet, Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade is back online with this new and improved website. stokes-valley places emergencyservices Sat, 13 Jul 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stokesvalleyfire.org.nz/index.php/brigade-news/latest-news/43-website-updates/66-take-3 Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade 2013-07-13T00:00:00Z -41.1732761 174.9831915 Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://www.stokesvalleyfire.org.nz/index.php/call-outs/53-monthly-reports/111-monthly-call-out-stats-june-2013 Call-outs for June 2013 Fires 7 Motor Vehicle Crashes 0 Medical 0 Special Services 25 Cover-moves 1 False Alarms 4 TOTAL: 37 stokes-valley places emergencyservices Mon, 01 Jul 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stokesvalleyfire.org.nz/index.php/call-outs/53-monthly-reports/111-monthly-call-out-stats-june-2013 Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade 2013-07-01T00:00:00Z -41.1732761 174.9831915 Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://www.stokesvalleyfire.org.nz/index.php/brigade-news/latest-news/114-house-fire-horoeka-street Late last night, the brigade was alerted to a house fire in Horoeka Street, Stokes Valley.  The house was fully ablaze when the brigade arrived.
