Our capabilities extend far beyond fighting fires. FRNSW firefighters are among the most highly trained in the world. Our teams provide fire prevention, they respond to hazardous materials incidents, natural disasters and medical emergencies. Our teams also undertake counter-terrorism and urban search and rescue operations. We are prepared for anything – helping anyone, anywhere, anytime.
