About Gibbs Farm

Located at 2421 Kaipara Coast Highway, Gibbs Farm is a world-renowned outdoor sculpture park that is rarely open to the public. It features a stunning collection of monumental sculptures set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Kaipara Harbour.

This private property generously supports local causes, and the Ahuroa Volunteer Fire Brigade is honoured to have been chosen for this fundraising day. All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the brigade, ensuring they can continue their critical work serving the Ahuroa and surrounding communities.

About the Ahuroa Volunteer Fire Brigade

The Ahuroa Volunteer Fire Brigade is made up of locals from the community who come from a diverse range of backgrounds and occupations. Together, they work as a dedicated team to serve the area, providing essential fire and emergency services.

Their first response area spans 142 square kilometres and includes farmland, forestry, native bush, waterways, farms, and roads. The brigade serves a resident population of approximately 1,140 people across 459 addresses. In addition, they provide backup support to neighbouring brigades and cover the busy stretch of State Highway 16 from Makarau to Glorit.

Over the past year, the brigade has responded to more than 100 emergency calls. While the majority are medical first response cases, they also handle a variety of incidents including motor accidents, vegetation fires, structural fires, vehicle fires, fallen trees, and flooding.

How the Fundraiser Helps

The funds raised during this event will be used to purchase items that enhance training and improve the fire station, going above and beyond what is provided by Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ). For example, the brigade may use the funds to buy mannequins for CPR training, new and additional furniture, or even a defibrillator for training purposes. These enhancements help ensure the brigade is well-prepared to respond to emergencies and deliver the best possible service to the community.
