Sadly but as predicted, this bushfire season is turning out be one of the worst in recent memory.

Spring and summer fires have called for emergency services to battle fierce blazes that have been described as unstoppable. As always, fire and emergency services personnel leap into action to do whatever is needed to save lives and property.

During these times, you put the safety and well-being of others before your own. Without your brave actions, the human and financial cost of emergency situations would be so much greater. 

We extend our enormous appreciation to you all. 

Firefighters Mutual Bank stands by its promise to serve those who protect. To assist with the rebuilding and recovery process, the Bank has made a significant contribution to both the NSW RFS donations fund and the Salvation Army Bushfire appeal.

We also continue to back events and causes that support fire and emergency services workers. This includes the Firefighter Championships which allows permanent and volunteer firefighters the opportunity to hone their skill levels in firefighting disciplines, the Rotary District & Clubs Emergency Services Community awards which honours personnel who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, the Firefighters Mutual Bank Girls Fire and Emergency Services Camp, and more.

To all emergency services personnel Australia-wide – from everyone at Firefighters Mutual Bank, keep safe this summer.
