Wanganui firefighters have been cleared of any measles-like symptoms after the Ministry of Health said they could have been exposed to the virus after taking part in the Sky Tower stair challenge a fortnight ago.
Four Wanganui firefighters took part in the fundraising challenge. They included full-time firemen Paul Doughty and Ian Tanner, as well as volunteers Aaron Whitford and Jamie Rickard.
Yesterday Mr Tanner said they were advised last week of the ministry's concerns.
"But we're all as good as gold," he said.
A person who took part in a tower climb at Auckland's Sky City developed measles symptoms after returning to Palmerston North. The event attracted firefighters from around New Zealand and around the globe.
