Become a Volunteer

What will it cost me?

Basically your time.

Will I be covered by insurance?

Yes. The Rural Fire Service provides:

  • legal protection against claims for damages;
  • workers compensation coverage;
  • free personal protective equipment for firefighting; and
  • subsidised firefighting appliances and equipment.

I don't wish to become a firefighter. Can I help in other ways?

There are different classes of membership. You don't need to be a firefighter to be a member of a rural fire brigade because there are a number of other roles that you can perform that support both the brigade and the local community.
