Sky Tower success for Oceana Gold ERT
Congratulations to the eight Oceana Gold Emergency Response Team members who completed the annual Sky Tower challenge in Auckland on Saturday. Andy Prescott was first in the masters category with an impressive time of 11:05. Two others came in 5th and 6th in their respective categories. F&ST was proud to sponsor them.
BA Technicians up to date
Our four breathing apparatus (BA) technicians were all re-certified following an intensive two day course run on out site by Kevin McCoomb from Scott Safety, Australia. They also completed cylinder valve servicing and testing. This training is required every three years to ensure the guys are up to date with aspects of maintaining and servicing BA sets and cylinders. We sell and service a number of sets. For details, check out our sales page.
We have power…
The boys have been testing out a powered ascender – easy to operate and comes with a remote control. They loved it. See them in action on our Facebook page.

Christmas cleaning with a view
We all like to have a bit of a clean up before Christmas, but Nathan and Ian of FAST Access Solutions have just finished a daunting cleaning job: cleaning the rust marks of the huge Holcim cement dome at PrimePort Timaru. Their rope skills are seriously classy, and the finished dome shows they’re pretty good at cleaning too.

Rural Fire Challenge Sizzles
This year’s rural fire challenge at Raincliff, inland South Canterbury, coincided with gale force winds across Canterbury and Otago. Some of the 120 rural firefighters scheduled to attend were too busy fighting the real thing. However there was still plenty of action across multiple disciplines, and F&ST was there to help.
