Tokoroa is the hub of New Zealand's massive forestry, timber and pulp and paper industries, located half-way between Hamilton and Taupo on State Highway 1. The town takes its name after the Maori chief,"Tokoroa" who was killed as he led his people gallantly against the british in the mid 1800s.

Our area streches south to the village of Atiamuri, half way between Tokoroa and Taupo. North to Lichfield, East to upper Atiamuri, and West to the top of No 7 hill in between Tokoroa and Mangakino. We have a good working relationship with our neighbouring brigades, and have been known to, on occassion, have the odd refreshment with them as well.
