NSWFB will today change its name to Fire Rescue NSW to coincide with the roll out of their new ppe which is to happen over the next 12 months.

Are they still calling it a Brigade(s) or is it a Service?

So stations are now called brigades, and the Fire Brigades are now called F&R NSW?  I bet that's going to be a culture shock for the old timers!

Some of them on another forum were carrying on like it was the end of the world.
