A recruitment promo

The Taranaki Daily News reports that the region is short of volunteer fire fighters, but highlights how Jana and Jozien Hannah have joined up.

I may be wrong, but I suspect the Opunake Fire Brigade is about to be swamped by a horde of young Opunake men wanting to join the fire brigade.

I think being a volunteer fire fighter is one of the most admirable forms of community service, and anyone who does so has my respect.

Many do not realise that the vast majority of fire fighters in New Zealand are volunteers.
