Fire brigade gets ute
THE LINCOLN Volunteer
Fire Brigade has a new
emergency response
vehicle thanks to the help
of a local business.
The new Ford Ranger ute
will provide the brigade
with more flexibility and
capability to respond to
emergencies, chief fire
officer Jeremy Greenwood
said.
The vehicle was
purchased with a grant
from Pub Charity and with
the support of The Famous
Grouse Hotel.
It has been fitted with
more equipment and
configured in a way
to make it easier for
firefighters to access. It
has also been fixed with a
front-mounted winch to
assist with stabilisation
and recovery.
“The ute will be used
in a support role for
operational incidents and
will also assist members
with the delivery of fire
risk reduction activities
and education within the
community and local
schools,” Mr Greenwood
said.
He said recently they
have seen how valuable
the ability to use a high

capability four-wheel drive
is.
“When our crews were
involved with significant
events such as the
Christchurch earthquakes,
Selwyn Rd fire in 2012 and
Port Hills fire in 2018 we
used a ute extensively to
ferry additional people and
equipment in challenging
environments.
“Any volunteer fire
brigade is only as good as
its local community and
we’re incredibly fortunate
to have such wonderful
SELWYN TIMES
support from residents
in Lincoln and further
afield and local businesses
like The Famous Grouse
Hotel.”
Famous Grouse Hotel
manager Will Stock said
he was thrilled to be able to
assist local firefighters.
“The hotel has a long
history of supporting
Lincoln firefighters and
we’re delighted to be able
to continue to support
them in the incredible
work they do throughout
our community.”
