It has come to our attention that some members are being pressured into proceeding with assessments of sprinklered buildings. This includes watches that have been tasked with co-ordinating assessments on a station basis.
As a result, I would like to remind members of NTM No.15 - 26 June 2009.
Members are advised not to undertake this work.
The various reasons are explained in that notice for those Managers and Assistant Managers that also need reminding.
The Auckland Local has serious concerns about the current and ongoing state of the frontline fleet of fire trucks, rescue tenders, aerial ladder trucks and support vehicles throughout Auckland.
Please read to the end.
Members should be aware that District Manager Mackereth has unilaterally made the decision to remove the Hazmat Command Appliance from immediate response to confirmed structure fire incidents for incidents in Auckland City Central Fire District.
