AUCKLAND HEAVY AERIAL – PARNELL 255
Members will be aware of District Manager Mackereth's instruction to all staff to restrict Parnell’s aerial appliance to respond to confirmed fires only, copied below.
This instruction was issued without genuine consultation with the Auckland Local and highlights the disarray and crisis that Fire and
Emergencies fleet is in. Despite the organisation saying that their fleet is well maintained and regularly serviced, once again reality
proves the complete opposite, with this decision impacting the safety and well-being of firefighters and the public.
