Call Triple Zero (000) to report emergenciesThe NSW Fire Brigades' purpose is to enhance community safety, quality of life and confidence by minimising the impact of hazards and emergency incidents on the people, environment and economy of New South Wales. As one of the world’s largest urban fire and rescue services, we manage fire emergencies in NSW’s major cities and towns. We respond to rescues, hazardous materials incidents and possible terrorism activities across the State. We work with other government agencies to minimise the impact of bushfires, storms, floods, landslides, building collapses, motor vehicle accidents and other emergencies. We also run prevention and preparedness programs to prevent these emergencies and reduce their impact on the community.

Current safety campaigns

  • Open Day - Sunday 1 June
    An Open Day for the NSW Fire Brigades (NSWFB) will be held on Sunday 1 June where fire stations across the state will open their doors and offer the public a personal glimpse into one of Australia's leading fire and rescue services.

  • Seniors fire safety
    Nearly one third of all victims in fatal house fires are seniors. In fact, seniors are more likely to be injured or killed in a house fire than any other group. This month, the NSW Fire Brigades is focusing on Seniors and Fire Safety to highlight the potential dangers of house fires for older Australians. 

  • Change Your Clock, Change Your Smoke Alarm Battery
    All homes in NSW are required, by law, to have at least one working smoke alarm installed on each level of their home. But ensuring that smoke alarms are in working order is just as important as having them in the first place.

  • Emergency Planning for Commercial Sites with Dangerous Goods
    Do you have a site with a notifiable quantity of dangerous goods? The NSW Fire Brigades has collated information on what you need to do, a brief overview of the legislation which relates specifically to Emergency Plans and more.
