Tauranga volunteer fire brigade has been given funding for additional rescue and cutting equipment to help save lives.
The funding support from Grassroots Trust will help the brigade expand their rescue capability within the local and extended community.
The volunteer firefighters provide emergency, educational and fire safety community services to
the wider Tauranga area, including highways 2, 2A, 29, 29A and 36.
Tauranga station officer Bruce Nilson said "The brigade is grateful for the additional capability this new equipment provides for emergency responders in Tauranga and surrounding district".
The additional hydraulic rescue equipment provides the voluntary service with the ability to extricate trapped people from vehicles efficiently.
