Our page is to keep everyone up to date with our past, present and future activities. We want to make our page informative, fun, and as educational as possible. We hope to learn from other similar organisations experiences on Facebook. This site will be the future window to our unit and sharing experiences that will hopefully benefit someone if not everyone.
Our goals include building better relationships with our community. Value to our People involved within Coastguard and to always remember that we are only Human. We make mistakes, we learn from them and make sure they don't happen again.
Well done to all the teams who braved cold water, high winds, and tricky obstacles in the Rescue Run last Saturday!
Some of our crew are putting in a presence at the Rescue Run in Woodhill Forest today. Good luck to all the competing teams!
Due to some technical errors, we've had to recreate our Instagram page...

Friends of Drury School - Ride to School. On Friday 13 April, we once again participated in this awesome event, picking up Cordel Kaihau, we drove to school in the Hino with Rescue 1 in tow. We arrived at school and met five of his friends and sister, who joined Cordel for the ride around the field in front of the whole school. A great time was had by all.
Liam Sharp our on hand chippy and Darren Stutter our on hand sparky, is doing a bit of a upgrade for the base. 🤙🤙🤙
Parked up with our Brothers In Arms, from Waiuku on NZ Steel
