“When the Doors go
up” is a wonderful coffee table
style book full of colour photos and history of Fire Fighting and Rescue
in Woodend and North Canterbury over the last 50 years. This book
chronicles the brigade and its endeavours from its birth as a small
rural fire fighting force in the early 1960’s, to its current status as
the fastest growing fire district in NZ. At 216 pages it is a
substantial book and is packed full of stories, tales and characters
past and present. From horrific motor vehicle accidents on one of the
worst stretches of State Highway 1 in the South Island, to hot, tinder
dry Canterbury wild fires and sobering accounts of the Canterbury
earthquakes, this book makes for compelling reading. This book provides
a fascinating insight into volunteer fire fighting in NZ. Books are
available for $20 a copy plus postage and packaging.
