The <strong>Fire</strong> <strong>Service</strong>’s <strong>Fire</strong> Safety Ambassador,<br />

Peter Leitch, aka the Mad Butcher has<br />

been getting hands-on in his new role!<br />

Wayne Gerrand, manager of the<br />

Palmerston North Mad Butcher shop,<br />

and ex member of Carterton VFB, invited<br />

Peter to Palmy on a promotional tour.<br />

While there, Peter took time out to help<br />

promote the Keep Looking When You’re<br />

Cooking and Don’t Drink & Fry campaigns<br />

that he’s graciously donated his time to.<br />

He even signed a copy of December’s<br />

<strong>Fire</strong> & Rescue.<br />

Right now we’re working with Peter on<br />

a range of other promotional initiatives<br />

designed to encourage the installation<br />

and regular testing of smoke alarms.<br />

Noticeboard<br />

In December’s <strong>Fire</strong> & Rescue we<br />

did a recap of the year’s events.<br />

In the recap we reported that<br />

Kinleith Pulp and Paper Mill had<br />

been razed by fire on February 5.<br />

This was not true, Kinleith did<br />

experience a fire but it is back<br />

fully operational (and has been for<br />

sometime). <strong>Fire</strong> & Rescue regrets<br />

the error.<br />

Te Kuiti VFB is celebrating its<br />

centenary during Easter weekend<br />

this year. Any inquiries to be<br />

directed to either Grahame Howell<br />

on 021 253 7227 or Phil <strong>New</strong> on<br />

027 661 5800.<br />
