The peak body for Western Australia’s 20,000+ registered Western Australian Bush Fire Service volunteers has today declared that the first Monday in May each year will mark the beginning of its “Bushfire Volunteers Recruitment Week“, starting 4 May 2020.

The annual Bushfire Volunteers Recruitment Week will focus media and public attention on the ever-present need for WA’s 500+ Bush Fire Brigades to attract new members in order to provide the invaluable services they give to protect and prepare communities all over the state.

As well as delivering a broad statewide public awareness campaign, Bushfire Volunteers will also develop support materials and facilitate small grants to help Brigades run and manage their own, fit-for-purpose local events and campaigns.

We have developed a range of sponsorship options that will allow supportive organisations and philanthropists of any size to show their support, including those below.

So, if you would like to express interest in providing cash and/or services to help in any way, please call us on 1800 23 8657 (1800 BF VOLS) or email on [email protected].
