The ACT Fire Brigade is one of the most versatile Fire services in Australia in terms of delivery of services to the community.

All firefighters in the ACT are fully trained in all areas of firefighting, rescue and hazardous materials handling. We provide a 24/7 rapid response capability from 9 strategically located Fire Stations.

Following the disastrous bushfires of January 2003, the ACT Fire Brigade has been working closely with both the community and the Government to deliver a number of initiatives aimed at better preparing for another serious threat. "Community Fire Units" are a prime example of this cooperative relationship, with groups of residents now provided equipment and training to help defend against bushfire attack.
