2003 was a little quieter for the Newlands Volunteer Fire Brigade as we continued battling to remain open. The decision late in the year by the Right Honorable George Hawkins that Newlands Station was to stay was met with celebration by brigade members and with a huge sigh of relief from the Newlands and Paparangi communities.

One of the other highlights for 2003 was the opportunity to burn down a house in Glanmire Road. This gave the Newlands Volunteers a rarely offered opportunity to train in a controlled, live fire situation.
