About Fire and Emergency
We were set up to bring together all fire services across New Zealand.
We are a Crown entity established in 2017 under the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 (the Act). The Act brought together all fire services across New Zealand: the New Zealand Fire Service, the Fire Service Commission, the National Rural Fire Authority, 12 rural fire districts, and 26 territorial authority rural fire authorities.
