RFS (Rural Fire Service)

The Rural Fire Service (RFS) is a government organization responsible for managing and responding to fires in rural and bushland areas. Their role includes preventing fires through education and firebreaks, responding quickly to wildfire incidents, and supporting communities affected by fires. They work alongside other emergency agencies to protect lives, property, and the environment. RFS volunteers play a vital role, providing local knowledge and assistance during firefighting efforts. Overall, they ensure safety, reduce fire risks, and help communities recover after fires in less urbanized regions.
