NSW is facing a weekend of extreme bushfire danger with far fewer trained firefighters than previously thought, new data from the Rural Fire Service reveals.

The RFS has frequently said it is the largest volunteer firefighting service in the world, with more than 70,000 members, but the number of trained firefighters is now just over 45,000, the agency privately told the Productivity Commission last year.

About 16,240 RFS volunteers have “village firefighter competency”, meaning they can fight fires in small buildings, in vehicles or other blazes likely to be found in a village setting, according to RFS documents from 2023 obtained under freedom-of-information laws.
