Tasmania Fire Service
Beyond our four career brigades, all fire brigades in Tasmania are made up of highly skilled and dedicated volunteers drawn from the local community. Approximately 5,000 volunteers operate from over 200 stations in the suburban areas, larger towns and rural areas across the State.
Volunteers come from all parts of the community, different backgrounds and a wide range of ages. Men and women of every trade, profession and calling become volunteers with the Tasmania Fire Service.
When you join a brigade, you become part of a large team who have an important job to do for their community. In many smaller locations the volunteer fire brigade provides a focal point for the community. It may be the only place where members of the community are able to regularly come together as a group for a shared purpose.

For more information about becoming a TFS volunteer, contact your local brigade directly or through the TFS Regional Office in your part of the State. When you make contact with the brigade the brigade chief will normally invite you along to visit the brigade on one of its training nights.
The Tasmania Fire Service also welcomes and appreciates young people in the community getting involved in their local brigade. If you're young and one day you would like to become a volunteer or career firefighter, there's no better way to start than joining up as junior or cadet member. Why not contact your local brigade and find out if they have a junior and cadet program? If they have, you will need to get your parent's consent in order to join.
