FRNSW is one of the key agencies involved in the response phase of most emergency or disaster events throughout NSW.
FRNSW is one of the world’s largest urban fire and rescue services and is the busiest in Australia. Our overriding purpose is to protect the irreplaceable.
Our highly-skilled fire officers and support staff provide rapid, reliable help in emergencies, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our aim is to save lives and reduce the number of injuries caused by emergencies and disasters. We also protect the environment and minimise damage to property, including major infrastructure. In partnership with the community and other emergency services, we strive hard to prevent emergencies while planning and training to deal with those that do occur.
On-call firefighters are not rostered on-duty at the station but employed to respond to emergency incidents when notified by pager or mobile phone call
