Kerikeri Fire Brigade

 


This fire engine is part of our local brigade - all strictly run by volunteers of course and they are usually very busy throughout the year.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup..

We so rely on our fire fighters and some of the horrible jobs they have to do.

I admire firefighters.

It looks not that different from ours. There's a fire house a few blocks away from my place, and on occasion I'll hear them pass in the night.

Pretty firetruck. We have two Local Firehouse near our home. The one bearer is not for us.

...that's quite a paint job on that truck. IVECO is a brand that I rarely see here.

Ohhhh, boy.
In your place these "darn" e-scooters are at least parked neatly.
Here... if you have a stroller with a baby in, sit in a wheelchair, whatever, it´s a "challenge" (referring to your banner). They´re a pest over here.

Hubby was such a volunteer (now too old, "luckily", as I always got scared when the siren went off, he was one of those with oxygen and went in always).
Now the main fire-station is just around the corner - we never hear them, though - clever guys.

We sure do like our firemen. Several years ago, we needed their services. Happy Saturday!

I haven't seen where our fire station is located. We found the area where it is on google so I'll have to walk that way sometime. The fire station looks very modern.
Living in a big city we hear sirens all the time. In fact the alarm rang in our building last night as we were having dinner, a false alarm,

A very important job no matter where you are.

Love your new header pic, fantastic Street Photography. Took a quick look at your latest posts and like them also. We have Autumn while you´re have Spring there.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
