About the Bush Fire Bulletin
The Bush Fire Bulletin is the official journal of the NSW Rural Fire Service and has been in circulation for 56 years. The first issue was published on 1 September 1952.
This well-loved publication reports on all the activities of the RFS volunteers and staff around the State – dwelling not only the present functions, but also honouring the significant role the RFS has played over the past 100 years to protect the community of NSW from bush fire.
“The Bush Fire Bulletin is essential. That’s the word that comes to mind,“says Director for Strategic Services and custodian of the Bush Fire Bulletin, Mark Crosweller.
“People love it. I would say the Bulletin is the most anticipated publication in the Service. The Bush Fire Bulletin provides a window into the Service that you simply don’t get anywhere else. It reminds us just how much we are getting done as a Service.”
The Bush Fire Bulletin is now published quarterly and is read by the 70,000 RFS volunteers and staff, students in schools across the State, staff in related government agencies and members of the general public. Around 27,000 copies of the magazine are distributed to brigades, fire control centres and educational institutions in NSW and around Australia. It is also available for download on the RFS website.
In a recent survey of readers, the Bush Fire Bulletin received a 98% approval rating. It features in-depth articles on bush fire incidents and any emergency where RFS volunteers are involved. Readers enjoy the behind–the-scenes look at how major incidents unfold and are how they are managed by their colleagues. The Bulletin also publishes updates on new equipment, technology and business activity available to the RFS volunteers.
The Bush Fire Bulletin bonds the RFS volunteer community by acknowledging the great and small achievements of our volunteers. We publish stories about events, awards, Open Days and station openings. The Bush Fire Bulletin showcases the achievements, the heroism and the everyday goodwill that fuels the RFS and keeps the largest volunteer bush fire fighting agency in the world running.
