The February issue looks at what has been happening to the personnel and fire stations hit by the Christchurch earthquake a year ago. Among those affected are the Brooklands brigade members who will have to close down their station and move out of the red zoned community before next April.

Meanwhile Lyttelton and Woolston stations are now made up of shipping containers and prefabs. We also visit Maketu and Kaingaroa to check in with the locals, and showcase the new scenario training buildings at the National Training Centre in Rotorua.
