NSW RFS and Brigades Donations Fund
Through the extraordinary support of the community, our brigades and volunteers will continue to receive many benefits resulting from the significant donations received during the 2019/2020 fire season.
These donated funds are being used to accelerate or supplement projects that would otherwise not happen without extra funding. These funds are for initiatives over and above funding that is normally allocated to the NSW RFS, such as by the Government. So far, more than $100m has been spent or allocated to benefit our brigades and volunteers.
How your donations are being used
distributed direct to NSW RFS brigades as part of the brigade management scheme
to assist with the provision of new firefighting helmets to all NSW RFS volunteers
as part of a district funding arrangement to allow for major projects or the acquisition of larger assets that have broad benefits to many volunteers
to fund a project to rollout mobile data terminals into all frontline vehicles
to allow for the distribution of respiratory protection equipment to all firefighting appliances across the state
to establish a benevolent fund for NSW RFS firefighters
