Formal resignation from NSW rural fire service after being a volunteer member for 24 years
It's untenable for me to continue following on from the covid vax mandates implemented by my brigade itself in late 2021 and agency wide via Service Standard 7.1.9 in mid 2022 that haven't been rescinded.
I've not been active since the return of covid lockdowns (2.0) in July 2021. I've held off formally resigning my volunteer membership because I had a lot of good friends from when living closer but since I moved and subsequently bought my house plus with my daughter's parenting needs as she grows up the time has come with the new year for cleaning up more messy loose ends.
RFS resignation is one of those.
I became a RFS volunteer firefighter in November 2001. Now in 2026 the culture is so different that it's no longer for me.
