1921


January - tenders called for a new fire engine. Mr Fletcher had already found a fully equipped engine for £1,300, but Tenders were called anyway. This was probably the famous Firefly.

A big new motor fire engine was christened the "Firefly", and taken for a trial spin to Takapuna. In the last months of 1921 a Queen Carnival was held and raised £600 for a new brigade station.
