Longer and complex fire seasons are placing increased pressure on rural fire brigades but a shortage of volunteers has raised concerns only a handful will be shouldering the load.

I think for what the Rural Fire Service does they should be paid, what kind of first world country do we live in where we don’t pay all of our emergency services

    is there any provisions for leave? eg extra days off where the govt compensates your employer or anything like that? the only RFS people i know are self employed and work their own farms independantly so im not sure about that
