G’Day
Let me take the opportunity to remind you that ALL fires other than “contained fires” in incinerators, in Okareka require a permit from Dept of Conservation. These permits are issued free of charge and to get more details please phone the special fire permit number 346-1155 during normal office hours. Mind you, if your property catches on fire DON’T phone for a permit JUST DIAL 111 and let us do the rest!
Presently we have 18 registered Firemen, and we would like more people to come along to the Fire Station and find out all about us—Hopefully you will want to join up with us and you will be warmly received, I can assure you.
Future Events include the 3 Lakes Pumping Competition, to be held in conjunction with the Village Fete at Okareka, Saturday March 25th. If you would like to take part, please contact Les Seckup on 362-8298. I would encourage our lovely ladies and younger members of the community to come forward to form teams for this event—After all, we don’t want Tarawera or Rotoiti to take the winners’ trophies away from us, do we?

FIREFIGHTERS
The firefighter answered the phone to hear Paddy in a panic.
"Quick, there’s a fire! There’s a fire!"
"Where is it?"
"At my place, of course."
"I mean, what’s the location?"
"It’s in the kitchen."
"But how do we get there?"
"Crikey. Haven’t you got a fire engine?"
