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

    I don’t know how a volunteer-based system is going to be sustainable as climate change worsens.

    If we pay people to dig up and burn the shit that got us into this mess, we should definitely be paying the people who deal with the consequences.
