Fire and Emergency's board is reportedly getting a pay rise while firefighters are striking for the same thing.
The Post is reporting Fire and Emergency NZ’s deputy chair and board members are in line for boosts of up to 79%.
A departmental briefing recommended Internal Affairs Minister Brooke van Velden approve the large increases in December.
