We welcome new members and we offer a multitude of roles other than firefighting. Firefighting, communications, catering, logistics, planning and aviation support are all critical – there is a job for everyone in our Brigade.

The minimum age to join the Rural Fire Service as a volunteer is 16, if you are under the age of 16 please enquire about our Junior member and Cadet Program. Junior members are aged from 12-16 and participate in training but cannot go on a fireground.

If you are thinking of joining the Mt Wilson/Mt Irvine Rural Fire Brigade, you will need to:

• Join the NSW Rural Fire Service.
• Join the Mt Wilson/Mt Irvine Brigade.
• There will be a Criminal History Record Check
• Make the Volunteer Declaration.
• The membership forms will need to be signed by the Captain or the President of the Brigade.
• Following this you will need to do a Safety Induction at the Mt Wilson Fire Station

It will help you to understand the process if you review the 10 steps to become a member before you make a final decision.
