Our pilots all have unit standard 3285.

Six of our eight helicopters are equipped with collapsible monsoon buckets and foam injection units for rapid deployment. There are additional buckets stationed strategically throughout our areas, so we may go straight to these if working nearby.

Our pilots are all experienced in firefighting and hold the appropriate qualifications. Hours of training are conducted within our organisation for Rural Fire Services and the NZDF.

We can deploy the resources to a fire. Whether it be aircraft or fuelling systems with nine fuel trailers and one 12,000 lt fuel truck available along with an additional 12,000 lt water tanker if required when water is not readily available.
