🕰️ That extra hour is here!
�Daylight Saving is a great reminder to do two simple things:

✅ Check your smoke alarms�😴 Enjoy a well‑earned nap (we recommend at least 55 minutes!)

A working smoke alarm can be the difference between life and death—please take a moment today to test yours and replace batteries if needed.

If you need any assistance, please message us!

The Council will be opening the Tokomaru Domain for Greenwaste Only, today from midday.

🚒 Welcome to 2026 from the Tokomaru Volunteer Fire Brigade 🚒

As we welcome in 2026, the Tokomaru Volunteer Fire Brigade would like to wish our community a safe, happy, and healthy year ahead.

A few simple summer fire safety tips:

🔥 Mow long grass and remove dry leaves and debris
🔥 Clear gutters, roofs, and around buildings
🔥 Trim trees and vegetation away from houses and accessways
🔥 Keep driveways and access routes clear for fire appliances
🔥 Maintain a clear space around buildings and water sources
🔥 Have an evacuation plan and talk it through with your whānau

These small actions can make a big difference in an emergency and help keep our community and firefighters safer.

Thank you for your continued support of your local volunteer firefighters. We’re proud to serve Tokomaru and will be here when you need us.

Stay safe, look out for one another, and let’s make 2026 a great year ❤️🔥
