About

The Rural Fire Brigades Association Queensland Inc (RFBAQ) supports volunteer rural fire brigades across Queensland by providing equipment, resources, funding, and advocacy. Their mission is to strengthen emergency response capabilities in regional and rural Queensland communities through direct support to brigades and their volunteer firefighters.

Giving Philosophy

RFBAQ supports Queensland's volunteer rural firefighting capacity by providing direct funding to brigades, developing prototype firefighting equipment, and facilitating donations to individual brigades. They prioritize supporting volunteer-based emergency services in regional and rural communities.
