A moment’s silence was observed in memory of Muriwai firefighters Dave van Zwanenberg and Craig Stevens at the start of Rodney Local Board’s February meeting last week.
Chair Brent Bailey said former board chair and Muriwai’s chief fire officer, Phelan Pirrie, was on-site when the fatal landslip occurred, and he extended sympathy to all friends and families of the two men who died.
Bailey also acknowledged the damage suffered at Puhoi and throughout the Rodney district during the January 27 floods and then Cyclone Gabrielle.
He said the board was enormously grateful to the emergency services, agencies and many volunteers for all their work during the ongoing aftermath.
