Medical First Response Service
Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade provides a range of essential services to the Martinborough and surrounding communities – firefighting, medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, search and rescue operations, civil defense, fire-safety advice and responses to natural disasters.
The Martinborough Skyline Challenge is a community fundraising event by the Martinborough Lions Club.
All proceeds go to Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade Medical First Response
Just by participating in the Skyline Challenge & Family Day you will be helping this Community organisation with its work. If you can’t participate you may choose to donate directly using the form on this page. Simply leave us a note at the end of the donation form if you wish to remain anonymous.
Our local Volunteer Fire Brigade is staffed wholly by unpaid volunteers. Around a third of its total work comes from fighting fires and the remainder covers these critical areas:
- Medical emergencies (as Medical First Responders)
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Search and rescue
- Civil Defence
- Natural disaster responses
Everyone living, visiting or working in the Martinborough area potentially benefits from the Brigade’s outstanding, 24×7 service which has operated in our community for over 100 years. The Brigade relies partly on donations of money and equipment, particularly for their medical first response service where the maintenance and replacement of its equipment (including the MFR vehicle) is funded through grants & donations.
