Te Anau Operational Support

The Te Anau Fire Brigade covers a vast area, including Milford Sound and the 120kms of the Milford Road, and the Wilmont Pass to Doubtful Sound, along with the greater Fiordland area. They also respond to the challenging underground Manapouri Power Station, often responding by helicopter when required.
The Brigade's member numbers and call numbers have dropped significantly due to the on going effects of Covid 19 - down approximately 40% for each. There are currently 26 members, 3 of those being Operational Support. The OS team primarily handle communications and any additional resourcing required.
There is over 115 years of experience in the small, but capable OS team - which includes an ex-CFO and ex-DCFO.
