Geocache Description:


Geocaching is a sport that takes us into all types of terrains, and we go searching in all types of weather. Usually the geocaching team arrive home safe and sound, although sometimes a little worse for wear, with the occasional cut or bruise, or broken rib. Very occasionally though, this is not the case and we need a little more help to find our way home. This series looks at those people who help those who are lost or hurt, and need help in getting back to where they want to be. Hopefully you will never need to experience the reality of this help first hand.

Firemen
The Transalpine Fire Region team cover about 6.5 million hectares. The Transalpine Fire Region has a strong volunteer component with only two paid fire districts, working out of eight fire stations, and 66 stations crewed by volunteers. This area covers from Canterbury to the West Coast. Their main focus is on fire prevention, fire safety and fire outcomes which include getting rid of spilt petrol/diesel when traffic accidents occur. Over and above firefighting however, the New Zealand Fire Service provides first-response to essentially all emergency situations that are not otherwise handled by the New Zealand Police or a local Ambulance service. This has mainly come through necessity, but also because Firefighting equipment is often useful for the work involved.

If you would like to find the final for this series The Helpers: Final GC3WDQC, please take note of what you find on the log. Sorry, no room for swaps and please bring your own pen and replace appropriately, thanks.
