Taradale Volunteer Fire Brigade

Well done to the TVFB members who had their heads shaved to raise funds for Child Cancer…..

….and then lend a hand to help

Even local MP Chris Tremain got in on the act.

A PFA in a garage gave early alarm of a fire and enabled appliances to respond while it was still small.

Napier and Taradale firefighters responded to a fire in Taradale Seafoods fish and chip shop at 3am this morning.

Arriving before the fire managed to flashover, crews made entry and saved the shop from more serious damage.
