Australian Fire Authorities

Australian Fire Authorities are organizations responsible for fire prevention, firefighting, emergency response, and public education across Australia. Each state and territory has its own fire service, including rural and urban fire brigades, which cooperate during large-scale emergencies like bushfires. They focus on protecting lives, property, and the environment while offering community education on fire safety and risk reduction. These authorities also conduct firefighting training, manage fire resources, and coordinate with other emergency services, ensuring a collaborative approach to fire management during incidents and natural disasters.
