Its unwavering commitment lies in serving its members and ensuring their vital contribution to the community is recognised and supported.

The RFSA offers an extensive range of operational and welfare support to rural firefighting volunteers, encompassing various initiatives such as sponsorship of training exercises and events, providing educational scholarships, organising RFSA Family Days, facilitating chaplaincy services, counselling, and family support, engaging in advocacy efforts, and funding a Brigade and District Grants Program.
