Employer Recognition
The Paraparaumu Volunteers would not be able to provide a service to the
community without the support and generosity of members employers. Though a large portion of our call-outs are
at nights, emergencies are not dictated by normal working hours and some calls
are during work hours. A number of our
employers allow their staff to attend day-time calls and we wish to acknowledge
their contribution by way of this website, as part of our overall Employer
Recognition Programme. A special thank
you to all our employers.
While we do not endorse any products or services of the businesses, we are
highly appreciative of the support they give us and hope you may consider
contacting them if ever in need of services they may provide.
We also acknowledge employers who may not be
in a position to allow time off at no notice but may contribute to the safety
of their community through granting time off for training or public relations,
or by making financial donations to the brigade, or simply by letting someone
come in to work a little late to allow them some extra rest after a mid-night
call!
The Paraparaumu Volunteer Fire Brigade was formed on 26 June 1948 and it's
inaugural meeting was held in the picture theatre at Paraparaumu and at that
time was commanded by a Superintendent. The Brigade was known
as the Paraparaumu District Volunteer Fire Brigade and was under the control of
the Hutt County Council. In 1974 the Borough of Kapiti was
formed and the administration of the brigade moved to that Borough. more....
