Longer and complex fire seasons are placing increased pressure on rural fire brigades but a shortage of volunteers has raised concerns only a handful will be shouldering the load.

I think for what the Rural Fire Service does they should be paid, what kind of first world country do we live in where we don’t pay all of our emergency services

    Unpaid fire brigades work okay if fires are few and far between, but you can’t ask people to take months off work every year. Firefighters still need to eat.
