Rural Fire Service

The Rural Fire Service (RFS) is an organization responsible for firefighting and emergency management in rural areas, particularly in regions prone to bushfires. It operates in Australia and relies on a combination of paid firefighters and volunteers from local communities. The RFS focuses on fire prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery, protecting lives, property, and the environment. They conduct community education, manage fire risks, and coordinate firefighting efforts during emergencies. The service plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and resilience of rural communities against fire threats.
