Australian fire service

The Australian fire service, primarily managed by agencies like the Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Fire and Rescue NSW, is responsible for wildfire suppression, urban fire response, rescue operations, and community safety. They coordinate prevention efforts, emergency response, and public education to mitigate fire risks across diverse environments, from rural bushlands to urban areas. Trained volunteers and professionals work together using specialized equipment and strategies to protect lives, property, and ecosystems. Their goal is to effectively manage fire emergencies, reduce damage, and ensure community safety through proactive planning, firefighting, and recovery efforts.
