Like other voluntary services the WVFB is keen on having a full roster of people who can be called on.  In summer the biggest problem is scrub fires and out of control barbecues, in winter house fires from heaters.

We know that regular firefighters need to be pretty fit people, but that may be less the case in Waikanae as the tallest building (Rymans) is only three stories.
