Within the Rural Fire Service (RFS) there are both operational and
support roles. Training is guided by the Volunteer Learning and Development
Framework (VLDF).
Firefighting is a hazardous job and there are many risks
involved in protecting your community against fire. The VLDF links training to volunteer roles. By aligning courses to RFS roles, volunteers have the opportunity to develop
and maintain the specific knowledge and skills necessary to perform their role
within the brigade. Training offered is both accredited training (nationally
recognised) and non-accredited training (recognised only within Queensland Fire
and Emergency Services).
While the initial focus for volunteer training is on
preparing volunteers for the a specific role in the brigade, we also ensure you
can undertake a range of training that will assist you in your everyday
life.
