Thanks for your reply,
Further to that, can you advise:
* How many volunteers are based at Castle Hill, Lake Coleridge and Upper Rakaia and their ranks?
* Do FENZ have requirements / guidelines as to if a remote station shall be provided with a vehicle and suitable station facilities? or is this down to area representation or decision?
* Is there a reason for the significantly different assets between Upper Rakaia and Lake Coleridge, given they are across the river from each other and that Upper Rakaia only recorded 1 call for 2024? and are similarly remote.
Yours sincerely,
Harwood Wilson
