Several hundred NSW RFS volunteers and staff have selflessly given up their time over the past week, at a time many Australians traditionally spend with family or taking a well-earned break from work, to help fight these fires, which destroyed around 30 homes, businesses, a large number of sheds and livestock.
Each and every community across the state should be proud of their local Rural Fire Brigades as they get on with the job of protecting the local community.
Not only are they willing to do this but also are willing to give up their time and, in many cases, income to help other communities in other states at a time of crisis.
Our NSW RFS volunteers are people like you and me, who go that extra mile, happy to be there day and night to help protect you and, when called upon, immediately put up their hand to help others.
Next time you see one of the men and women who wear the NSW RFS uniform, please take a moment to think about what they do in serving our local community during a time of most need.

President - NSW Rural Fire Service Association
