Grants available for Farm Fire Units

The Regional Capability Community Fund (RCCF) has been established to improve community safety and capability to respond to fire emergencies.

The RCCF will reimburse between $300 to $5,000 (GST inclusive) to farmers and farming businesses to purchase equipment to support the safe use of Farm Fire Units (FFU).

Additionally, in Round 4 the fund will reimburse approved water tank purchases or a portion of a purchase up to $10,000 (including GST). This will allow for the purchase of a minimum 22,000L tank, fire service fittings, and other items such as stands and pipe fittings dedicated to firefighting to support preparedness and resilience in areas where water access for firefighting is currently difficult, and there is a need for more water.
