 This may be a volunteer fire brigade, with a single fire station, in an outer-urban or rural area, or it may consist of several fire stations in a metropolitan area, staffed by career firefighters.Auckland and Wellington, with their geographic sprawl, have their career stations divided into multiple districts - two in Wellington and five in Auckland.The other fourteen cities in New Zealand that have career firefighters are sufficiently compact geographically to allow each one to be a single fire district.
