Could you handle the heat of being a volunteer firefighter?

Bushfires are already creating havoc and hardship across Australia. With the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a dry, hot summer, things are expected to worsen.

We all watched in horror during the Black Summer bushfires of 2019, as firefighters across the country risked their lives to save Australians stranded on fire fronts. So how and why do people become volunteer firefighters? And why aren’t more young people signing up?

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by representatives from three states and a volunteer firefighter to learn what it takes to be a volunteer firefighter.
