Warkworth Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief Nick McLean and his teammates won the national title at the United Fire Brigades Waterway Challenge last month.
The competition consisted of nine events in which firefighters worked in teams to deploy hoses, attach them to hydrants and operate pumps as quickly as possible without incurring penalties.
Nick formed a team with his mates at the Silverdale brigade and travelled to the national competition in Wainuiomata, near Lower Hutt.
