Your checklist
  • Get low

    Smoke is poisonous and more deadly than flames.

    If you breathe smoke for more than a few breaths it can kill you.

  • Be fast

    A house fire can kill you in less than three minutes.

    Don't spend time trying to save possessions.

  • Close doors

    A closed door buys you time.

    It slows down the spread of fire, giving you more time to get to safety.

  • Get out - stay out!

    People have died by going back into a fire.

    Don't leave the meeting place to go back inside for any reason.

Our Proud Employer campaign and assets

Many people in Aotearoa don’t realise that nearly 12,000 people volunteer for Fire and Emergency New Zealand, let alone the impact this reliance has on local businesses.

The Proud Employer campaign

We are committed to recognising the support of our self-employed volunteers and volunteers’ employers. One of the ways that we raise awareness of the Proud Employer mark is by promoting employers of volunteers in our annual national campaign, which recognises the vital contribution businesses make in our communities.

All in a day’s work.

The support of our Proud Employers means our volunteers can remain on call, during mahi

Our new campaign depicts our volunteers in their operational gear going about their day jobs, showing that they’re tradies, farmers, teachers and accountants... until they’re not. When they drop the tools, and get out there to do life-saving mahi in their community.

Our volunteer firefighters, operational support, brigade support, and medical first responders wouldn’t be able to do any of this important mahi without the support of our Proud Employers.

The attention grabbing new creative will feature on the front cover of The Press and The Post, and the campaign videos will appear on TVNZ+, YouTube and in social media. 

If you employ a volunteer, be recognised for your contributions
