The boys and I took a road trip in the last week of June.
The town of Coromandel is straight out of the ‘Mountain Theme Pack’.
Main Street
Rural Fire Station (Volunteer) – note the siren to alert the firefighters to come to the station for calls.
Original Fire Station and Ambulance Station
The Ambulance Officer, also works at the butcher, and carries a pager, for calls.
Coromandel Police Station
Screw Pile Developments 
This is very like our many volunteer fire departments and rescue squads throughout the Country where the towns are too small to support or have a “regular” fire department and ambyulance squad.
Volunteer Fire Fighters and Ambulance Officers are the back-bone of rural New Zealand emergency services.
