| Invercargill Fire Police |
The Invercargill Fire Police Unit is an integral part of the NZ Fire Service Invercargill Fire Brigade. The first Invercargill Fire Police Unit was set up in 1887 under legislation much the same as that of today. It consisted of 25 men and was formed to control the crowds of curious idlers hampering the brigade. Little is known about the operation or length of the first Invercargill Fire Police Unit but it is known that it had ceased operations by 1940. Today's Invercargill Fire Police unit can trace its beginnings to 1949 where it was formed from members of the war time EPS and has operated continuously since then. The Unit attends 25 to 30 K99 fire calls per year together with 3 or 4 motor vehicle crashes and traffic control assistance is given to the Police for public events 4 or 5 times a year.
