A good morning with the Horowhenua Volunteer Fire Brigade and Levin Volunteer Fire Brigade whānau, and many others in the community for Levin's ANZAC Day Dawn Service. Thanks for letting this odd American firie in NZ be part of your service.

ANZAC Day commemorates those we’ve lost to war and honours returned servicemen and women.

Join us in remembering them during tomorrow's ANZAC ceremonies in Levin along with Levin RSA, the Horowhenua District Council, and others at the Cenotaph for a 6:15am service.

17.5 of the last 24 hours on this fire ground. Funny how most of my pictures make it look like all we do is hang out in the smoke and dirt with snacks and drinks :)

Have a Shark 6 and want to enable ADB on the IVI?
Ensure the screen is in portrait mode (debug buttons hidden in landscape!), tap Factory Reset rapidly 5+ times, tap the top debug bar for "Turn on ADB debugging!", adb connect <shark-ip-address>:5555 from the same wireless network - voila!

A good variety of busy over the last few days: An overnight deployment for fire patrol at a forest fire, crewing a community AP&I show in town, and this morning the Tararua bush was calling, so off we went!

A fire that I was at overnight, doing fire patrols and putting out hot spots for - nothing beats a good evening stroll in the forest with friends from @horowhenuavfb.bsky.social and Whanganui VFB!

And of course vs. other fires in the world, “large” is subjective.
Large forestry fire near Bulls
Firefighters worked overnight to contain a fire in a forestry block in rural Rangitīkei.

My first full year in the @horowhenuavfb.bsky.social has been a pretty good one, as far as gaining experience and time on the fire ground goes!

76 calls in 2024, I responded to 59 of them, and 46 of those were active jobs of some sort (not stood down/etc) - Loving it!
It's been a little while since we've done a call stats post, so here's the final one for 2024.
This was our busiest year in memory - with 76 calls total, we had as many vegetation fires (37) as we normally would have total calls in a year.
