Future Field Days
* Venues and Dates of Field Days for 2026 to be confirmed *
If you have any ideas on where we should run a field day or want to help run one, check out our How to run a field day page and get in touch with us!
Some suggestions we are looking into could include:
Airport Field Days
Many brigades have an airport in their turnout zone or may be required to respond to a full scale emergency for support. Airports are busy places with lots of moving parts, and there are some interesting things to see - which most people will never get to go behind the scenes.
NZFBI are looking to run a series of field days at airports around the country.
