Donations are for the benefit of volunteer brigades and are always gratefully received. Donations may be accepted directly by a brigade, or through the NSW RFS’s Brigades and Donations Trust fund to help benefit all brigades.

Terrifying vision has emerged of a NSW RFS fire truck being overrun by bushfire earlier this month. On 4 January, the Dunmore Rural Fire Brigade was fighting the Currowan fire at Tomerong, in the Shoalhaven.
