Blueskin No 1

I am a volunteer firefighter with the Waitati fire brigade and a member of Blueskin No1.

Blueskin No1 is a group of Waitati volunteer firefighters, (from Blueskin Bay, Otago) trying to acquire the original, 1940s Ford V8, fire engine from the Waitati volunteer fire brigade.

The fire engine has been located after it disappeared decades ago and is now privately owned by somebody in Fielding, who is prepared to sell it back to us.

Our intention is to buy the fire engine back and once restored, we would use it for charitable events and to promote fire safety at parades, events and schools. The fire truck is also a part of our local history, which we would love the opportunity preserve.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated by Blueskin No1 and the local community of Blueskin bay.
