Dear Robinson, Louise,
Thank you for this comprehensive response although question 1 of the OIA request has not been answered as Schedule F in both the St John and Wellington Free Ambulance MOUs with Fire and Emergency has not released the current list of First Response brigades under the MOUs, the document's just refer to looking up via the "intranet".
Yours sincerely,
Mike Hunua
