HVFS would like to pass on their congratulations to our previous SSO David Ackroyd who was the recipient of the DSD (Distinguished Service Decoration) in the Queen's Birthday and Diamond Jubilee Honours List for 2012

Major David Ackroyd transferred from our unit in March and now takes up position of Executive Officer of the National Army Museum in Waiouru and has also joined the Waiouru Fire Brigade.

HVFS wishes Major Ackroyd well for the future

Next time you are passing through Waiouru take some time out and stop and check out the National Army Museum it is worth a look!

After a long wait the new Ultralight truck has been refitted to hold all our equipment and is now in full service. The Ultralight will be the first responding appliance for the Hutt Valley Fire Police unless canteen only is required then the van 4926 will respond. Whenever possible both vehicles will respond to all calls.
