Welcome to the Yass River-Nanima Rural Fire Brigade. We are a volunteer bushfire brigade of the NSW Rural Fire Service. Our brigade’s area of operations (see map) covers 11,000 hectares, and is situated in one of the highest fire-risk areas in NSW. There are more than 120 properties and a population close to 200 in our area.
If you would like to join or support the brigade in other ways, we’d love to hear from you. Our Captain, Neville or President, Judy can be contacted via the emails below:
