The interpretation of “Auckland” means both permanent and volunteer brigades within the Auckland Fire Region (2010). The area includes fire brigades in previously known configurations as fire brigade or within area, district, division or region, which includes North Shore and all surrounding volunteer brigades.

Full membership is open to all persons employed by the Auckland Fire Brigade, or any other full time & Volunteer fire brigade, Fire prevention or Protection service, along with retired employees/volunteers of the above mentioned services and any other interested individuals.  Associate membership is available for those living overseas who are unable to attend meetings/workshops etc. Associate members will receive the newsletter, can attend the AGM but cannot vote or hold an official position within the Society. We also have a Brigade/Corporate membership available.
