Who We Are
Our Members
The Feilding Volunteer Fire Brigade has approximately 40 active members, all of whom are volunteers.
We come from all walks of life and our backgrounds are as varied as the people we are called on to protect.
We have a passion for our community and want to exceed any expectations. Our volunteers have jobs outside of the Fire Brigade, but drop everything when required. – It is because of these volunteers and their employers, that we are able to continue offering this service.
