Emergency Service
Except in the Wellington region, emergency and non-urgent ambulance transportation is primarily carried out by the charitable organization, St. John New Zealand. Ambulance services in metropolitan Wellington and in Kapiti are provided by the Wellington Free Ambulance organisation. The Wairarapa DHB maintains its own ambulance service.

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or service:
“In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
