This weekend across NSW the Rural Fire Service held open days.

NSW RFS is the world's largest volunteer fire service, with over 73,000 volunteer members. The open days were raising awareness about the dangers of fires in the lead up to summer and also gave locals the chance to meet the volunteers who protect their community, and of course… sit in a fire truck.

We are proud that our son is a 4th generation volunteer with the NSW Rural Fire Service and we are so very thankful for all the volunteers around Australia that give up their time to fight fires and help keep us all safe.

    Indeed we are proud of them, and I am proud of my nephew who is a professional firefighter in the country.

    it's essential to be part of the RFS when you live where we live............no one is coming to our rescue........its just us and the neighbours so we are all part of the brigade.........probably 4th gen here too thinking about it.........

    We rely on volunteer fire fighters here in rural Vermont. They are a breed unto themselves...brave, selfless and big hearted. Many thanks to all who stand ready to drop everything and put their lives on the line for the rest of us!
