Halcombe Fire Brigade
We had a visit from the Halcombe Fire Brigade. They talked to us about the Sky Tower Challenge, a competition they participate in each year to raise money for the New Zealand Blood and Leukaemia Foundation. This involves climbing over 1100 stairs, wearing a full fire fighting kit and 25kgs of equipment! Thanks to a generous community, the Halcombe Brigade has raised over $60,000 over the past three years - AMAZING! We also got to have an up-close look at the fire engine and some people even got to try on the gear!

Good on you Halcombe School for making such a great donation to the Halcombe Fire Brigade. I really don't know how they get up all those stairs!!
ReplyDeleteI think Halcombe did an awesome job in raising funds. It is amazing how they can go up all those stairs and in all their gear!
ReplyDeleteI think it was really cool how we could use the money from Red Day, to donate to the Halcombe Fire Brigade.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the Halcombe Fire Brigade, I would like to thank all the students from Halcombe School for making us feel so welcome last week and for your generous donation to our 2015 Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge fund. I know that Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand will be very grateful for your fundraising efforts.
