Answer

I am advised that Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s Property Asset Management Plan incorporates a property portfolio of 641 sites, including 601 fire stations and depots. Five hundred and fifty-six of these stations have a volunteer brigade operating from them in some capacity, which represents 87 percent of all stations.
