AVBFB - Supporting Western Australian Volunteer Bush Fire Fighters

Western Australia is privileged to have approximately 25,000 volunteer bush fire fighters who are based at over 600 Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades throughout the State. These men and women give their time freely to undertake training and to attend incidents, with communities being reliant on them to protect life and property against wildfire. The Association of Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades of Western Australia (Inc), or AVBFB, is the advocacy agency for the State’s volunteer bush fire fighters.

The AVBFB is a non-partisan organisation that has established valued relationships with FESA, governments and national industry bodies to ensure the interests of Western Australia’s volunteer bush fire fighters are considered during decision making processes. The AVBFB’s Committee members are elected by the Bush Fire Brigades and are committed to assisting volunteer bush fire fighters. All undertakings of the AVBFB are based on the values and principles of:
