As the upper valley grew, it was decided that a more uniformed service was required, so in 1958 Trentham Camp Brigade and the Upper Hutt Volunteer Fire Brigade came under the umbrella of the Upper Hutt Fire Board and moved into their new premises at the central fire station on Fergusson drive, where the current station stands today.
Further restructuring has taken place since then, and today we come under the New Zealand Fire service Commission, However we maintain our own identity as the Upper Hutt Volunteer Fire Brigade and maintain a fire appliance to supplement the permanent service.
Today, with 93 years behind us, the past and present members who have collectively devoted hundrads of years of dedicated service to the community of Upper Hutt can justifiably be proud of their record in the finest tradition of the Fire service. |
