Palmerston North Fire Station

The Fire Brigade was established in Palmerston North in 1883. The Cook Street station was opened in 1977, at a cost of $1.8 million, and at the time was said to be the most up to date in New Zealand and Australia. The 25 metre tower is used to dry hoses and as a smoke chamber for training.

FORMER RESIDENT OF PALMERSTON NORTH I HAVE HAD 2 FIRE STATION VISTS AND PALMERSTON NORTH FIRE STATION WAS ONE OF THE BEST AND THE CREW WERE QUITE UNDERSTANDING OF MY AUSTIM PLUS I WAS ALBE TO USE THE HOSE AND ALSO GET TO TRY ONE OF THE SCBA (SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS) AND EVER GOT TO GO FOR A SHORT RIDE IN ONE OF THERE RIGS WITH BOTH FIRE STATION TOURS. AND AT THE END I RECIVED A FIRE AND EMERGENCY NZ TEATOWEL AND ALSO SOME STICKERS FROM PALMERSTON NORTH FIRE STATION AND MY OTHER FIRE STATION TOUR WAS AT A VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE AND I RECIVED A FIRE AND EMERGENCY T-SHIRT AND NZ RURAL FIRE TOP AND LEG MOST LIKELY SOME OF THEY USED CLOTHING AND ALSO A RURAL FIRE CAP
