Generally, there are three types of firefighting organisations, though this varies by state. One is salaried and mostly handles urban areas, one is volunteer and generally handles rural areas, and one handles government managed public land (mainly forests and plantations).
Equipment
Firefighting agencies in Australia use a variety of technologies for detection, prevention, and emergency response.
