A major blaze at an Auckland supermarket this week has once again highlighted the incredible work of our firefighters.
More than 20 appliances and over 80 firefighters spent hours containing the fire at the Victoria Park New World this week, in scenes that captivated audiences across the country.
It’s not the first major fire the city has seen this year, and it’s unlikely to be the last.
So what’s it like on the frontline of these fires – and is our current fleet of firefighting appliances up for the job?
Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union Auckland President, Terry Bird, and Auckland local representative Josh Nicholls, to get into what it’s really like for our firefighters.
