For over 100 years we have been a significant part of the history and landscape of NSW. Working closely with other agencies we respond to a range of emergencies including structure fires, motor vehicle accidents and storms that occur within rural fire districts.</p><p>The RFS is widely acknowledged as the largest volunteer fire service in the world. Members of the RFS are trained to very high levels of competence to ensure they know what to do in an emergency.</p><p>The Service aims to reduce the likelihood and consequence of fires occurring. This involves comprehensive risk management programs to reduce bush fire hazards, reduce fire ignitions and the development of regulations for bush fire prone areas.</p> <div class="clear"></div><div class="widgets"> <div class="widget responsive-block general"> <a href="https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/about-us/contact-us" class="thumb" aria-hidden="true"><img src="https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0004/12568/aboutus_standard1.jpg" width="350" height="210" alt="Contact the NSW Rural Fire Service" title="aboutus_standard1.jpg" /></a> <div class="widget-inner"> <div class="widget-content"> <h2 class="widget-title"><a href="https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/about-us/contact-us">Contact us</a></h2> <p class="summary">Have a question or comment?
