Association of Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades

The Association of Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades (AVBFB) is the peak body that supports and advocates for Western Australia's 26,000 bush fire brigade volunteers. Operationally, they regularly work side-by-side the state's 1,100 paid firefighters and more often than not, provide an invaluable service that otherwise simply wouldn't exist - often in regional and remote areas where fire is the primary natural hazard. Administratively, the complex task of managing Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades is typically undertaken by volunteers with a passion for their community in conjunction with their nearest Local Government.
